Platerpants Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Well i am waiting on parts for my 78 ford havent felt the mini trucks and my silverado and escalade are on the back burner. Ill give ya a hint it aint a Ford. But it was scrap pieces from ebay. I did invest in a resin suspension because it was broken, a resin grille and bumpers, a resin cummins, and some resin mud tires. I will be doing the decals for it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see what that rocker cover looks like due to know if its the saw edge type or not..... (Difficult to explain) -But a specific look is what I'm trying to achieve!

Platerpants Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Forgive the poor photo quality all I have is my phone for pictures... The front clip would be done if modelhaus wouldnt have back ordered it and according to their site now, their son died and they will be down for a while. So I am in search of a 75 dodge front clip.

426-Hemi Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 -Thanks! The pictures were enough to see the rocker cover, it IS the one I was looking for! That black rocker cover is the saw-tooth version, I was speaking of! THANKS again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platerpants Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 I ordered mine from detail junkies since it was a legit website and not a guy on facebook but it is definitely the same engine kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
426-Hemi Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 What was the damage on that engine (if ya don't mind me askin) as I'd like to get an idea of how much I'll need to budget in for this truck I got planned!)
