Sam I Am

Actually, the 66 was the same as the 65 Falcon , just skinned. I have owned a 60, 62, 63, 64, 65, and 66 Falcon. The entire 66 , under the skin, was identical to my 65. The 67-69 was slightly different even though the 67-69 looked similar to the 66. The 70 was a completely different body. The thing is, Mustang people do not like that that it was just a re-skinned Falcon. The 66-7 Fairlane people also do not like that it was just a stretched Falcon. Long live the Falcon ! ???

I Googled "plastic all thread" and came up with lots of links like this one. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjco9mXhdHiAhWW0mQKHegzCOgYABAEGgJwag&ae=1&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESEeD2HcQkWLjPrtkg1tYVjX42&sig=AOD64_1WlYw65H5xsyqYkl-kWcGqF5HnBw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwia09GXhdHiAhWCGDQIHX_wC94Qwg96BAgLEAc&adurl=https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx%3Fsku%3D91844%26gclid%3DCj0KCQjwrdjnBRDXARIsAEcE5YnEza2GBYl-sOMYt-z66opl1-RcTXM0erHg44j9_dO3ICIvmgRmoDQaAkSSEALw_wcB

Yeah, it looked like plastic all-thread to me. Cool and innovative idea.

Page three has plenty of engine pics.

Ok, I am on board as well since I have one in the stash also.

Love your buses! Makes me want to send you one just to see what you would do with it.

I was thinking more Volkswagen Golf Harlequin.

Everything is top notch work and am really glad you conquered the paint issues. I think I did as well....

Great trades with Rusty92 thatz4u AFX Great bunch of guys and would recommend to anyone. ?

Had a chance to do some surfing and found this in Hemmings. 1964 F350 non dually and look here....six lugs.

My word Ricky..... Now what's under that putty?

I never knew Ford used a six lug. It's at least a 1ton.

The first dump truck that my father-in-law drove for the company he works for was a 1983 Mack. B series? The one he drove was sold out of county but its sister truck was sold local. I want to build a model of his so he took me out to see this one so I could get some pics. I think I really could sell this pic. Any help on what Mack kit to use as a base would be appreciated. Thanks!

Love it!

Ha ! I have been painting 1:1 for years. Two weeks ago I repaired and painted a motorcycle tank for a friend. Turned out beautiful. Let it cure out for week, went to pick it up and....dropped it. New dent, multiple scratches. Yesterday I repaired everything, and painted it. The clear coat proceeded to lift and looks just like yours. So I walked away. I have enough paint left for one more try..... It happens to everyone once in awhile. ?

I have a bunch of great trades and a couple parts that were just sent to me. These are a great bunch of guys that I would recommend to any one. Fordf-100 TarheelRick JollySipper DrKerry SCRWDRVR Khils 57olds88 Gramps46 Snake45 Thanks to all for great transactions. ?

Great idea, I have been collecting parts to do the same, only with a '56. Keep going because I know I want to watch.

Nice job.

Nice work. Already a huge improvement. ?

Amazing reference material. Thanks to all those who are adding to it.?

Funny, I have owned a 73, 77 ,and 78 Datsun, an '80 Courier, and three Rangers, two '86, and an '88. Even had a '96 Dakota. After owning full size pickups for the last 15 years I am going back in time. (cue Huey Lewis) I am looking at a very nice '88 x-cab 4x4 V6 5spd Ranger with only 83k miles. It will suit my work needs perfectly and get better mileage than my current full size while being cheap to maintain and easy to work on.

Super clean build!
