If your ever interested in attending one of our club meetings pm me ! We meet once a month on the second Monday 7:00 to 9:00 by the county airport !

Sorry I didn't get any pictures. Some good deals were there. What kind of stuff do you build?

Turberticus did you end up making it to the swap meet? I was set up there. This was our clubs first attempt at this and we had 26 tables with 13 vendors, which considering it was the first isn't all that bad! I actually did very well selling and did way better than I expected! I also got a couple of good kits and built ups for pretty reasonable prices!

One thing I really wanted to do with this is try darkening the panel lines I think it would really help the look. I have never done this, you guys have any suggestions on what to use?

Great looking build!

Thanks for the comments! I think this was painted by someone, looked like it was originally red. The body was also twisted and you can still see it just doesnt "sit right" . The rear bumper just had 1970 on it. I have a couple other promos of this that are beat up and I might have to dig them out and check and see what is on there rear bumpers, I didnt know any were different! I always try and pick these up at shows and stuff, you dont see the kit around too often anymore, I wouldnt mind seeing this come back out!

I picked this up at a local show for $15. It was painted silver and I assembled and missing a couple parts. I polished it up put some BMF on it, did a little detail painting a set of custom wheels from Steve Zimmerman? Could be wrong on that, memory ain't what it used to be! Didn't Come out too bad! Comments always welcome!

Great color and a beautiful job, looks great!!!!

Thanks for the tips on the tank and exhaust , l looked a little bit on the internet but I just searched ford 1 ton dump and didn't get any great shots of what I was looking for, I'll try a more specific search. I'm going to put on mud flaps, I was trying to think of what to use so the looked like slightly flexible rubber like a real flap, thought about trying to find some thin rubber but I also want to either decal or paint something on the flaps like Ford or a company that makes dump bodies!! Any ideas?

A couple of mock up pics. I moved the rear wheels back a little, looking at some trucks from this era the rear wheels seemed further back than the stock location. I also slightly raised the front and rear suspension. I have been looking to see where the gas tank would be on a truck like this, any ideas? Would they have the stock pickup tank in the stock location? Also I was wondering about the exhaust, I think it exits before the rear tires, not sure though. Comments welcome!

That is looking really good! Nice job!

The scoops on the Dragula are very similar to what you are looking for, the only problem is they are molded together. If you cut them apart you might be able to get 1 usable scoop so you would need 2 sets to start!

Check the Munsters Dragula kit, I think they are similar!

Nice! I like the wood on the sides! Any issues with prep and paint?

That looks great ! Where did you get the rims and tires?
