  1. Been awhile since a got a build completed.  Even longer since I've done a big truck.  I did a little scratch building on this,  which is a first for me.  Stretched the frame,  sleeper and tanks.  Love these snap kits,  for their ease of modification,  but I'd like something with a little more detail next time

  2. Thank you Zen .

    Thank you geemoney, that's not linkage, its NOS lines.

    Thanks rsxse240 KEN, not sure I'll bring this one. HOWEVER, I was going to see if you were interested in doing a 48 hour build (on a weekend) while I'm there. what says you?

    Thank you MININORTHFORDMAN!

    I appreciate that Claude Thibodeau, The color is Ford mineral grey from Duplicolor, with carbon fiber decal in the roof.

    Thank you Koellefornia Kid, I love this style.

  3. Thank you guys.  I really appreciate it.  New question.  I've been thinking of doing side-pipes.  Nobody runs them anymore,  and I'm kinda digging the old with the new look.  The black makes them hard to see, and im not sure if aluminum would fit well with my theme here... what say you's?

  4. Modern take on a classic.  Hand painted all stripes.  Used various parts from my collection of diecast car parts (seats, steering wheel, infotainment,  fire extinguisher) still not sure what im going to do with the suspension.  Might use the IRS from a 427 cobra (might as well... already stole the aluminum radiator)

  5. Howdy everybody.  Saw AMT re-released the 94 lightning,  and had to grab one up.  Me being me,  I couldn't leave well enough alone,  so I decided to use the Roush 427 that came with the Foose truck (I stuck a BOSS 429 in that one). Ordered a 3D printed whipple supercharger from Ron Olsen at 3d-model-specialties to top it off.  This has been a fun build.  I have to repaint it,  then get the bed to sit level,  and I'll be done.

    Lookin' good.Joeseph, how did you do the spark plug boots?

    I use stretchy necklace cord from Michael's.  1mm for the boots and.5mm for the wire.  I glue them together,  then use paint to make them look joined
