Bespoke Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I really like the way this is looking. Love the chassis and it's detail. Wheels are fantastic, i'll have to look into those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

502 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just a few more updates, made some tiny mounts for my sway bar endlinks. Also knocked out a tank and compressor mount. The last picture is just detail work to my bag plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty92 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Beautiful work. The air system looks good. Air the compressors from Shapeways? I think I have the same but I’m looking to make some Zeniths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Nice.... have to ask what model kit you started with, the AMT is a '69-'72 (depending on the grill), I thought only promos came as '68. The side trim around the wheel well is the big difference for the molded on trim. BTW I own a '68 Long Bed, survivor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordlover632 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 So is most of the parts printed in resin by a resin printer. or are they cased in resin like the compressors and diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I'm watching "Texas Metal" as I am writing this . You are doing an excellent job. I love the wheel and tire choice. I have a 72 under way, where I shortened the bed. I'm leaning more towards a simpler model, utilizing mostly kit parts. After looking at your build, I have to get back to mine.

502 Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 A lot has happened since I last posted. I’m not as active on the forums anymore. You can follow me @lowlifescale on Instagram if you’re on there. I post updates pretty frequently. Here’s some updates. I’ve been doing a lot of scratch work. Interior and engine bay is pretty much done. I also finished up the floor pans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Appreciate all the scratch-building you are doing! You want better exterior door handles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Yea, those door handles would be a big help. Do you know someone that makes them or have a tip for making my own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
