ok, i made this really cool cheetah out of what i think is sculpey claythe clay was all ready really softand whent i finally got it perfect, i tried baking it like i've done before many timesafter about 10 min, i checked it and it had fallen over and everything was sticky and meltyi soon fixed it and i wanted to put it in again, but im afraid it will be ruinedWhy wont my clay harden?and it's not the kind where u leave it out over night and it hardensAre there any other ways to harden it?
Pretty much you would need the truck the engine came from to get all the extra parts that are differentThe weight of the engine means different springsProbably has a different fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel lines, exhaust system, and computer to control the whole thingCheaper to buy a 2003 diesel truck to drive.
Don'tThe hemi is the better engine, the 5.9 is junk plus a swap like this will cost more than the trucks worth and requires needless workIf your not listening, and a switch is imminent trade the truck with hemi for a 5.9 but the diesel is plagued with costly problems almost to an endless amount
You'd need front end to hold the engine, rear axle, transmission, all the stuff mentioned.and if you have emissions, the truck won't passIs there really a point to this? You won't tow more, because you still have a half-ton frame underneath the sheetmetalHence, you are left with a 1/2-ton truck that now weigh several hundred lbs more due to the engine and other running gear You can always find a four-cylinder truck if you want decent MPGs, but don't want the ability to tow anythingAt least that kind of truck won't be noisy.
Unless you have strong mechanical skills in engine swaps as your plans are to yank out the hemi already in your ram for a cummins 6btIf the swap is out of your skill set the other option is to sell your current ram and get another ram with the cummins already installed from the factory.
If your figure is very thick or has a lot of supported parts then it might not be able to support its own weightThe Sculpey clay packages reccomend using aluminium foil as filler for the inside of the figure if it is thicker than 1/2 inchAlso, you could use toothpicks or jewelers' wire to stick the parts togetherThis may involve you having to completely re-do your cheetah, but it could be worth it if it absolutely won't bakeGood luck D
