Evil72gto Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Started work on the new Moebius/Modelking 1969 F100 the day it hit the store. I am kit bashing it with the 2006 Mustang GT H kit from revell. I am using the motor , trans & seats from the Mustang kit as well as part of the door panels. The door panels are other wise scratch built using evergreen sheet stock. It has some Corvette parts from a revell kit as well but only 5. At the moment I am using the upper & lower control arm's from the C5 R kit (this setup may change) & the master cylinder from another corvette kit. I have modified the frame & the suspension to add airbags front & rear. It sites on the frame!!! It has a custom Ford 9 inch out back. Rear roll pan made from evergreen stock. It will have a 4 link in the rear that will be made from evergreen rod. The bridge is made from evergreen stock as well. I cut the gas tank out of the cab & filled the hole with evergreen sheet stock. I have shaved the fire wall & cut a hole for the radiator to mount in. The front bumper will be left off & I filled in the holes for the front bumper with evergreen. Any questions about the build just ask.

Evil72gto Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 I scratch built the door panels & used parts of the mustang door panels. I also removed the gas tank from behind the seat. & cut the headrest off the mustang seats & added seat belt hardware & controls for the seats. More updates to come.

Evil72gto Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 I was not happy with the wheel spindles from the corvette kit I was using!! So I am now using the front spindles from the Revell 41 Willys kit that I am modifying to look more realistic than what they supply in the kit. I will make extensions where the ball joints would be so I can get it to the ride hight I want. The wheel spindle on the right is the stock kit part & the left 1 is shaved down to the profile I want.
