DRIPTROIT 71

Very nice work!!

Your right Jim, that it what it actually is. I thought that it was labeled as a 92 but I may be wrong.

I haven't purchased any of their aluminum, but I did purchase some of their GroundHawg tires last year off of Ebay. It took 3 weeks to arrive, but that was noted before the sale. I was a little disappointed with the quality though. Out of the 4 tires, 1 was at least 2 scale inches shorter than the other 3. I didn't contact them or try to exchange it. I didn't figure that it was worth the trouble.

Ausowe has good stuff. The 92s that I have seen from them have the 71 style valve covers like the 92s found in the AMT kits such as the Aerodyne and the General. I'm want to get some that more resemble the more squared look of the 92 valve covers. I'm looking forward to seeing what KJ creates.

Count me in for a set. I've been working on set for the Auslowe 6v-92, but not sure how they will turn out yet.

Thanks KJ. I haven't tried to contact them yet. I was hoping to get one of those 8v-92s that they listed. I may just try to make 92 valve covers for the 8v-71 since they are out of business.

Has anyone here in the states ordered anything from Melbourne Model Truck Accessories in Australia? The have some great looking stuff on their website. Just wondering about service and quality.

Just received 39" Mickey Thompson Bajas from Fireball. Very Highly Recommended.

You sir are a craftsman! Excellent!!

Very nice work. The plumbing looks great!

Looking great! I'm a painted bumper man myself, at least for a project like this one. It gives it that real work horse look. I really like the color choice as well! Either way that you choose, I'm sure will be good.

Looking good! I like the two tone!!

I've been wanting to see one of these hood put to use. This should be good!

Very Impressive!! I notice your transmission. Is it going to be a twin stick or an air shift?

Great work! Glad to see that your back on line!

That is one sharp Pete!!! Excellent work!! I like the grill!!!

White with center caps! Great work! I like them both!!!

WOW!! This thing is really coming to life!

Thanks; Dave, Mike, and Mark!! Got the bumper mounted, skid plat made and mounted, winch mounted and wired. Imagine meeting this on the highway. I still need to do some plumbing, run exhaust, mount cab and bed, etc.

The best short bed Ford like this that I have seen built yet!!! I would put the push bar and roll bar on it. It looks excellent either way!!

Thanks; Sam, Terry, and Gator. I mocking up the bumper, and trying a different roll bar. Added a few things along. The engine compartment is going to be kind of full.

I really like this one! Nice Work!!

Excellent Work!!! One of the best snap KWs that I've ever seen!

Nice looking build!

I need some of those wheels! They look great!!
