chadrob30 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 This is a very good kit, but I improved (I think) on it a bit. Instead of the puny driveshafts that were in the kit I used stir sticks to give it a beefier appearance. I used the 390 out of the Moebius kit, and cut the kit transmission off the 302 and mated them together. I used parts box tires and sourced the wheels and side trim from the same Moebius truck kit. I used the push bar and antenna from a High Roller kit, and the CB radio from the AMT '78 Ford kit. I had to lift the back end of the body a bit to fit the rear tires and I think it looks pretty good. I should have it finished today. I have small details left and a bit of detail painting to do. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadrob30 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 If you look close the front steering assembly isn't exactly lined up correctly. I still need to tweak it and get it all the way it is supposed to be. Other than the finicky steering stuff it went together fairly easily. The key is patience. The dash assembles to the underneath of the cowl instead of into the interior piece, and the windshield needs to be installed with the roof so the angle can be set correctly. After gluing it in place I let it sit overnight and had no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadrob30 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Also, since I used a non included motor, the exhaust manifolds don't line up with the exhaust pipes, but I will correct that soon. The top needs to be tweaked just a bit to fit 100 percent correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
