Have been looking for a Monogram Mustang SVO for several years now. Almost bought one years ago and would like to build that car. Would like to have an unstarted kit. Have stuff to trade even up....couple of new releases. Let me know what you have. Thank you. Ken

Built this Moebius 1972 Ford Ranger Sport Custom as a "what if" race truck. Our local club (Auto Modelers Group or A.M.G.) had a one year build of your choice a 1972 c10 or this Ford or the 1972 Ford 4x4. I chose the Sport Custom As you can probably guess, I used only the body, glass, and trim pieces. Everything else is still in the box lol. The chassis and driveline came from a Revell Nascar kit. The rollcage was Custom built from several Nascar rollcages. Norm Nelson himself I made from a Don Garlits figure. The front bumper I scratchbuilt from Evergreen sheet and Stainless fuel filter screen. The grille was cut open and customized with screen and scratchbuilt headlight covers from acetate sheet. The rear bed cover was also made from Evergreen sheet. The hood was dropped at the front removing the F O R D letter section and sloping it downward for aerodynamics. Took forced perspective photos of it in front of a printout of Darlington where it would have most likely made the rounds. I did not take a lot of photos near the end of the build due to the amount of time this took to make complete. Decals came from Mike's decals. I chose the livery because I am from the Racine area and worked at Kilbourn Gardens in high school. I can say I am glad this build is done....I like how it turned out but it fought me every step of the way as any heavy Custom kitbash will have the tendency of doing. Enjoy!!!

Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!

Thanks Dave. The outer rim barrel was a Pegasus set of wheels, the inner centers are from a Tamiya Opel Calibra race car. Took a little work to get them to slide in. They reminded me of the wheels on Kindig's personal car the ecf1. -

I call this the Dollar Vette. I paid one dollar for this sealed never opened AMT 55 Corvette at my local club auction. It will be Kindig's C1. -

Hey Craig. For the whitewalls I have used white craft paint thinned and airbrushed. Apple Barrel from Michael's or Walmart. Good coverage and stays on tires pretty darn good.I also had done a set of blue stripe tires for a 34 Ford build with the above craft paint thinned slightly and run into the stripe "slot". Let it dry and wipe carefully with a qtip and water. -

This is a "what if?" build I am currently building. What if USCA decided to race trucks back in 1972. This will be Norm Nelson's Kilbourn Gardens/Schaefer beer truck. I worked at Kilbourn Gardens back in high school so it made sense to me. -
Keep it up Ben. Great to see you building again! It's really looking great

Why don't you just cut out the glass and make it look like the windows are rolled down? If you wanted to, you could use clear acetate to make the side windows in the down position. Just a thought
