Fordboy1975

well, on some of them they had different parts, but most of them on the outsides were basically factory stock, other than fender trimming, and some teams even bondoed the nose and the fenders together.

Now all we need is some new 1960s-1970s NASCAR models (dodge daytona's, plymouth superbird's, Holman moody ford's, etc... of course already modified to the NASCAR specs and not just factory stock)

Got the cab corner repaired, and other things

I never was able to get one of these kits, so this is great news for me.

Nice! i like the idea of the box inside the bed, I would have never thought to do that.

Have not been working on this hear in the past couple of days because, unfortunately I will have to make a trip to the hobby shop here soon after I save up some money, to get a new super stones kit, so I can cut up the cab, and repair the cab I have.

Nice! I love the idea! What color are you planing to use on it?

Nice! love the color!

Looking good! keep it up!

Yes, and also, sometimes they won't have the model you might want, but you could order a specific one that you know that you want 100%, or you could search for it in other hobby stores near you

Welcome! try hobby lobby or Michael's to find the models try to go with revell stuff, they make great models, but sometimes you will have to go with other brands.

Nice job! would never have thought to use the rear leafs and the axles from the super stones kit.

Thanks guys, and I'm very glad I'm not the only wv modeler here.

Looking good!

Thanks! Cool, the name lane isn't common, I'm glad to see other people with the name.

Very nice ??!!!! Can't wait to see it finished! Keep up the good work!

Yea, it's easy, but on this build, I was lazy and decided to buy one off eBay, and I'm glad I did, I haven't seen one like it on eBay since

Thanks guys! It means a lot.

yea, it took me a while to find mine, there are some on eBay right now for 10 bucks, which Is pretty cheap for what they can go for. The main thing you can't really get anywhere else is the bed I have for mine, because mine is a resin set that has been corrected from a super camper special wheelbase to the regular wheel base

there is the link to the build to be the most pain in my butt ever Thanks for the welcoming party lol, it means a lot, will definitely get me more motivated to complete the 9 or 10 model kits I have unfinished at the moment

About a year ago I bought a AMT 1973-75 ford pickup off of eBay, and I got two super stones 1979 ford pickups just for the rear suspension on them, and proceeded to make a factory highboy (my dream truck) and I almost had it done... then one morning I was eating and watching tv, and I heard my dog chewing on something hard and crunchy and when I looked, it was my prized highboy I was making, well needless to say, he did a number to the bed and the front clip on the cab, but atleast some of it was repairable, but some of it wasn't, so now I am starting from scratch again trying to build my dream truck and this time i want to take more time, and focus on the details, and get it done when I get it done. Notice the damage on the cab, And the bed, and keep in mind I already had the bed sides glued back together at the time I took these pictures, so you will just have to look closely to see the "battle scars"

I have grandparents that live in clendenin, they just got back in their house after the last summers BIG flood, and the news crew even came out to talk to my grandparents, and welcome them back in, and raise a new flag for my grandpa who served from 1943-47 I'm pretty sure.. He was 17 when he illegally entered the military, and he is currently 90 and he still gets around pretty good.. great if you consider he can still kind of drive, but only short trips.

Thanks for the welcomes guys, and I'm glad to see a few fellow West Virginians here too, here in a few days or maybe a week or so I will start posting wip pictures of my models that I'm working on, but since I don't have a professional camera, I will be using my iPad, so it won't be very high resolution, but it will do for now.

Nicely done!!! I remember my grandpa told me he used to have one of these.

Sweet!! I love the details and the color!!
