    AMT 1975 Ford F-250 highboy build and restoration

    You certainly can;t be accused of not being persistent or being one to take the easy way out!! Wow! That's a huge amount of work. Just wondering why you are fixing this cab instead of just using a new one? Or am I missing something here? My hat is off to you for taking the time and effort to save the cab - sometimes, it's a matter of principal on a project like this - save as much of the original kit as possible just to prove to yourself that you can do it. As John Wayne once said, "Sometimes a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do".

    well, I don't have enough money to buy a whole new kit just to rob the cab, and also, it's the cab out of a star truk kit, even though I had to remove the F350 super camper special logo on the fender, it still is one of the star truk cabs.

    It's been a while since I've updated this, I lost interest in it for a while, so now I'm back on it, I made a lot of progress, the cab is nearly completed, and I've started working on the bed, and I figured out a better way to make the interior bedsides attach better to the bed floor, before there was just three tiny tabs, now there are two big pieces I made from sheet shock, way better this way in my book.

    What did you see on the road today?

    Saw it while coming home from visiting Mom at the hospital, it's an '82 factory 5.0l and T-Top car that was converted back in the late 80's under license and has never seen the salty roads of a Midwestwern winter.  It even has a whole bunch of sounds that both KITT and KARR would make and the KITT sounds were actual William Danials (also well know as Mr. Feeney in the Boy and Girl Meet World tv series) sound tracks that were activated via pushbutton or in trying to enter the car, with the alarm system.

    There was something on TV the other day about Junior but I missed it. I think the intro was about his moonshine hauling days.
