426 pack

It is an amt 94 Ford lightning but decided I wanted to do it a little different and I have already started building a 7.3 diesel using a 460 block. I know they never made a regular cab short bed half ton diesel but I want to biuld it like a truck that could have came from the factor as a special edition truck that I have named Thunder.

I’m not 100% shure yet how it came out. Ot isn’t uncommon for a triton ford motor to shot a spark plug out due to the aluminum heads with not much threads for the spark plug. I have only had the truck for 1-1/2 years and when I bought it it had just got all the plugs done but I have heard that some times people can’t get the back two plugs torqued and will come loss and thread itself out (I’m hoping that that’s all it is)

This little guy shot out of my #9 cylinder on my truck yesterday on my way to work. I’m a little upset but it’s not completely unexpected on a Ford triton motor with 330000 km (about 200000 miles).

Heres the first mock up of the terminator truck. Since I can’t find any pictures of what’s under the hood I figured it should have a crazy hi HP motor. Right now it is mocked up with supercharged big block but I’m contemplating maybe throwing a turbocharged LS in it.

I would like to jump in and biuld the square body chevy from what appear to be two different movies, terminator and nightmare. The truck in Terminator. the truck in nightmare. I know now there are some differences between the two truck but I am unable to decided what way I want to do it right now. I will be using the useable parts from 3 different somewhat started, old biuld revell gmc plow truckand other random parts that I have (if that’s ok) ps: dose anyone know if the truck is a long box or a short box? I can’t tell form the picture I can find.

I also got a 1987 Topps ALF baseball card.

I got a few magazines for Christmas. The car toons are from 1990 and 1980.

I got a couple cool models for Christmas today.

Ok then you can count me in for movie cars then.

I have wanted to biuld myself a 30s Ford but I haven’t been able to pick how I want to biuld it so I decided to biuld 3 different 30s Ford’s in 3 different styles. The first is the new AMT 1934 Ford pickup that will be biult as a period corect hot rod/shop truck with a supercharged flathead. The second is a revell 1931 Ford that will be biult as a rat rod siting on a revell 1930 Ford model A frame with a 1950 Oldsmobile motor. the third is the revell 1932 Ford that has been channeled. It will be biult as a modern style hot rod with an LS. Comments welcome.

I like the movie car idea. Here are some ideas that I have. small block chevy (you cans build any car but it has to have a sbc) LS (you cans build any car but it has to have a LS) pre 1960s technology ( everything that you use for the biuld has to be something that was around before 1960.

My guess is a early 60s ranchero.

I was just thinking of doing a rat rod so I will jump in if that’s ok. I will just have to dig through my kits and find something to biuld when I get time.

I daily drove my 77 Ford F-150 4x4 with a 400 and a C6 for about two months and it was the scariest/funnest things I have ever driven. The bad The suspension is very stiff, the track bar mount is broken so the front end will sway from side to side, tires sound like 4 helicopters following you around every where you go, it’s straight piped with the exhaust shooting out right under your feet so if you don’t want to die from carbon monoxide poisoning the windows have to stay open, the heater doesn’t work so it is cold every morning, it gets 8 mpg, fuel gauge doesn’t work so I pack a extra gas with me for when I run out of fuel, the speedo is out by about 20kmh so when it says you are doing 80kmh you are actually going 100kmh, the lights randomly burn out, the tailgate dose not open, the striker post are worn out so the doors bounce around, the transmission shifts very hard, the brakes barely work and I have to top up the brake fluid before and after work, it burns just as much oil as it does fuel, the windshield wipers don’t work, the temp gauge doesn’t work (it doesn’t matter because you know it is always over heating), and it is very rusty. the good you get thumbs up from everyone else on the road, people stare at you when you drive by, you feel like a hero every time you make it home safely, it sounds cool and it has enough power to do a burnout.

Well another one of these old fords found its way on my trailer today.....
