Excellent build and photography! That's a great, and unique, color you chose.

A few of mine...

Sharp build for sure! Love that you added the shaker scoop. Underhood detail is excellent, as is the chassis.

First mockup with the tires pinned on. Moebius 70 F100 converting to an F250 using Fireball Modelworks excellent conversion kit.

I really like this one, Mike! Red on red with those Cragars looks so good. Whenever I get around to building mine, I may just have to go with this very combo, very inspiring!

Heck yeah, nice to see another one of these built as a drag car! Looks great! Thanks for the heads up on the decals, I've got at least one set I've had for a long time, too.

You overcame the obstacles these kits have really well. They do look great when completed, yours is no exception. I wrestled this kit to completion several years back and have a number of others to build, but have yet to get the ambition to start another one lol.

Many thanks again guys! I had those same intentions with mine, Terry. But, when I looked at that cool custom hood, and the other optional goodies in the kit, I changed my mind.

Fantastic build, James! I don't know if I've ever seen one of these snappers posted before. Nice job on the lift and wheel/tire swap, it looks so much better than the low ride height this kit has otherwise. Thanks for sharing this, as it gives me some inspiration to dig mine out from deep within the stash and take a crack at it.

Wow Niko, you really knocked this one outta the park! The subtle blackwash on the engine is very effective. Beautiful attention to the details all-around.

Thanks guys!

Holy smokes that is a terrific build! It could easily pass for the real thing, simply amazing!

Count me in as a fan of those wheels as well. I don't always like big wheels on vintage cars but this looks great. Another great build for your collection.

This was my first time trying that method, and agree it is a bit tricky. I did have better luck than I thought I would. Hardest part was trying to keep it from twisting around while applying.

That is a beautifully clean and detailed build. Stellar paint too. I love those longnose Mustangs, thanks for sharing!

Many thanks again guys! I was really fretting doing that side trim. I cut those strips, with a straightedge, right from the sheet then applied them to the body. No way was I going to try free-handing it all the way down the body with a knife. I did unintentionally cut them slightly wider than the molded in trim but I'm good with it. The vertical part up front is a separate piece which I applied like normal.

Very nice! Gives me some inspiration to start mine sooner rather than later.

Thanks a bunch guys, glad you all like my take on this kit. I was really trying to give it a period correct vibe and think I pulled it off respectably.

Awesome Super Cab, Chuck! I have fond memories of riding around in the back seat of one of these when I was a kid. (Think ours was a 75)

I rolled this one off the assembly line last night. I'm calling it a match racer as I didn't build it to any certain class rules. This was a really fun, albeit simple, build. A good chunk of it is out of the box parts. My parts boxes did cough up the wheels, tires, and decals. In adjusting the stance I raised the front a touch more than I had planned, but I think it still looks good. It would be an easy re-do if I'd ever change my mind on it. Paint is Tamiya TS-49 Bright Red, definitely more red than the slightly orangish hue the pics show. The interior is shot in the same red, but over a base of TS-33 Dull Red so it would be slightly darker than the exterior. Since looking at the pictures, I think I may try to clean up the little paint slop in the headlight buckets, hadn't noticed that. Thanks for lookin' and any comments or questions.

Absolutely beautiful build, Daniel! That is a jaw-dropper!

Thanks guys! Really happy I had a set of those slicks on hand.

That sure does look the part, you really nailed it. Killer build!

Saw this '79 F150 out behind a local Ford dealership today. And, while way back in September, this van who's owner has a good sense of humor.

I managed to drag this one across the finish line last night. Overall pretty happy with it even though it was an uphill battle at times. Even with a coat of decal bonder, a few of the decals (Slixx) split up in a couple areas and required patching them up the best I could and some paint touch-up. Speaking of paint, the blue is Tamiya TS-15. I threw on a set of Competition Resins slicks and lowered the rear axle for a more accurate stance. Engine wise I just opened up the header ends and wired up a VCG Resins magneto. The bug catcher and valve covers are sprayed with Revell's Chrome, pretty happy with the outcome. Not my best work but still like it nonetheless and glad to add it to the collection. Thanks for looking and any comments/questions.
