Mobeius 69 F100 update 6/4/16


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. Finally cracked open my 69 F100 kit and started cutting and lowering it the way it should be. Boxwood green and Wimbledon white trim, wheels, bumpers, and grille. Using a set of resin wheels and stock hubcaps. Power will be a new 5 liter Ford and a 6 speed. All comments welcome!0224162048.thumb.jpg.44d725303ab5f73e6cf

Great start! Where do you buy the wheels? I really like it!

 

I googled "resin cast steel wheels" and that took me to a seller named forward resin on ebay. I think they are 9.99 a set plus shipping. I've gotten several sets. Hers a link.

Those are nice wheels and they are cast by Casey, a member here who does many others as well.

Thanks for the comments! Did some work on the suspension & engine placement today.  Nascar taurus front upper & lower arms. Using the 5 liter from the ' 13 Boss 302 kit and upper intake from the '14 Mustang GT.  Rear suspension will be the 4 link setup from the AMT Wagon rod.

Hey everyone. Not a huge update, but I did get some mock up done on the rear suspension. I modified the crossmember from the AMT Wagon rod and modified the 4 link bars a bit. Now I need to scour the parts boxes for some decent looking coil overs. Also started filling some mounting points from the leaf spring attaching points.
