Platerpants Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Well im sure some of you remember watching the build of my first truck last summerBut sadly that truck due to an icy ohio winter found itself on its roof in a ditch, besides that i picked up this one in february. Time to move on from "Chugging Chuck" and build this bad boy, ive opened the hood up from this snap kit and stole the engine from a lightning i built when i was 11 or somewhere around there. ive got the the 17s for the wheels but aint got the proper tires for the wheels always looking for em. The 3 lights in the grille are from my first truck and so are the 17 inch wheels, it had to live on somehow seeing how the night it flipped was also the same night the old beast got a brand new bumper.... So heres an engine shot it aint the best but the lighting aint great and neither is my phones camera. the intake cover is IH red not pink.

Platerpants Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 well its been forever since i touched it i finally got some tires for the proper rims and i even put it at a close to correct ride height. I recently painted my bumpers on the 1:1 so the model has black bumpers now too. yes there is a expedition police in the background its a upcoming project The thing about both the f150s ive owned is that they were both canadian produced and both had the 4.6L V8. The real one and my expedition cop project based off an old unit my town had. strange thing is i grew up in the 90s and 2000s and dont remember the expeditions.

Platerpants Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 also have some window stickers to make and red logos. Like the last truck this one has the Chardon heart, Truck yeah, Kiss my bass, and mud looks good on me. The decpticon logo replaces the spot a NITRORCX sticker was and the OHIO logo replaces where mud truck army once was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
