Either the monogram '80 or the revell NightRider bed will probably work; more so the revell kit as it's actually about 1/26 scale. Compare the widths in scale with the factory specs...

Like this one... the round lights seem to go better with the flareside

Recently, mental illness seems to be on the upswing.

Tea and crumpets make a nice afternoon snack, I'm told...

Here's the original kit combo funny, I've still got my license from back when I wore a much younger man's clothes here somewhere. Some history, courtesy of hagerty... https://www.hagerty.com/media/motorsports/malibu-grand-prix-when-pint-sized-cars-were-a-big-time-attraction/

Theyselves be thinkin' english is a hard language to unnerstan', but it can be done through tough thorough thought though ...

A kwikee comparison of grill fit, '78 Bronco vs '78 F350 on the amt F series truck... A few seconds whittling on the rh side of the radiator support will ensure the fit of the bronco grill. This will probably work for using the fireball resin round headlight '78 grill as well. The bronco also supplies the correct 78/79 bumper and the 351M/400 mill, if an accurate 78/79 F150-350 is your goal.

The auto industry seldom wasted top coat on the bottom of cars; instead it was basically a primer hosed on with jets from the bottom. Ford used red oxide or a mix of leftovers called slop gray depending on the plant or day. As the painters couldn't reach far under the rockers, the sides of the floorpan received a light dusting of body color. Other makes were similar in process. By the late sixties/early seventies large electrically charged dip tanks were introduced.

Orange you glad to be part of this forum?

Reminds me of an old classic story I just finished rereading; 'Leave Her to Heaven'.

She's just after your millions 🤪

Clarity of mind brings definite speech .

Nice morning doon at tha crik, rising sun warming everything nicely after an unusual plunge to 36 degrees early this am. Brrr. Ducks, geese paddling about and a flock of martins sweeping the airspace above the river clean of skeeters and other pests. Wild roses bursting into bloom along the road and a lone bald eagle standing a lonely sentinel in its tree watching for breakfast. Nice way to start the day.

My pappy said 'son, ....'

Mark, I certainly agree they are one dog of a kit. I'm only intending to use the body shell. Got an original amt falcon here that I've compared it to and found where I can make improvements. The engine compartment is actually decent; the chassis and the rest... forget it

Find out is what some do after fooling around.

Yes it would. The 60-65 falcon and comet sedans, wagons and rancheros used the same one. I've got one of those '64 resin wagons but it's warped beyond easy repair. Another quicker way to approach this project might be to use the trumpeter ranchero. Been picking away at a sedan delivery conversion, maybe with a comet nose -if I ever get that far 🤪 That big block converted '65 must be real rocket.

That sure is a striking project, Bill. While the moeb kits of this series make a passable replica, they suffer from a kinda amateur hour development that shows some fairly obvious proportion issues. There are some 3d files available now that provide a much more accurate replica in scale; check this link: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/hobby-diy/automotive/f-100-1970 Looks like most combinations of body types are available. Chassis from the moeb 4x4, amt 4x4 and the '78 bronco could all be adapted to these. Or check with Andy here...

Back I'll be, said the terminator...
