That turned out beautiful! Very nice!

Thanks Tom! Wonderful work on this one! BTW, those mirrors were designed for the 4th Gen Ford cabs (Moebius 65 -66) which is why the fit is a little "off" for the 67-72 kits.

Thanks AJ, I forgot all about the roof change from the smooth top in 61- 63 cabs to dip in the 64 - 66 . Hopefully it shouldn't be much of a hassle for the builder to fill in that dip on the Moebius 65-66 cabs to get the right look for the 61-63.

Excellent work Tom, great choice of color!

Excellent work Jim! You nailed the used slightly weathered look! Love the engine bay! Very well done all around! It will be an honor to post this build on Rookie Resin's website in the upcoming customer gallery, thank you for your support!

Very cool! Weathering technique is fantastic! Love the seat! Excellent work!

Excellent work Tom!, right down to broom! This brings back memories of when I was in the towing business and spent many hours sweeping debris ( and other things) off the highway after securing the vehicle. Nice details and you nailed the look of that "clean" wrecker that dealerships had around their service centers.

Thanks Jon, I will look at the heater boxes and see if that is something I can do.

Thanks Tom, I will let everyone know when I am ready to release them. As far as the inner fenders go, I want to leave some scratch building for the builder ha ha! I don't think I will tackle those at this time. I have gone ahead and created 62 and 63 grills and the panel above the grill for those as well. I did the hood badges for the 63-64 ( will add the 250 and 350 ) and I am still working on the hood spear for the 62. I see a 61 in the future as well. Here is what I have so far. The items are just set in place and held with tape for the photos.

Very Nice! Great weathering! Awesome modifications to the cab! Love the color choices!

Thank you both very much!

Got the headlights figured out and the panel above....just need to do the hood badges and ??????

Thank you Jacob!

Thank you JT!

Many MANY Thanks to everyone! Check out the resin post on the forum. I posted some progress on creating a new 64 grill for these kits.

Thanks Tom! I thought they were but wasn't sure. I am going to see if I can make those as well.

Just wanted to show the progress on a 64 Ford F series grill. I still need to fill in the areas around the headlight ring and bring the headlights out a little. I also will create the panel above the grill. I should be able to do 62 and 63 once I get the headlight bezels ironed out. Can anyone confirm if the F100 badges that go on the 65-66 fenders are the same size as the ones the 64 had on the hood? Anyways, just wanted to show the progress. Bill

Thanks Sam, hang on to it, I appreciate the offer but for now I don't need it. Thanks again!

I have started on one, the headlight bezels are giving me fits but I am working on it.

Hey Karl, I was surprised to see this one dug up again! If I remember correctly, I just took a small (really small) flat piece of styrene and drilled a hole then painted it black then went over part of the black with silver. After placing the wire, I went in with black and touched the bottom of the wire where it goes into the base. Hope this helps!

Hi Mark, I made the wheels (and sell them) but the tires were something I printed for this build and unfortunately, I can't produce them consistently with any quality and therefore do not sell them. I had to fill lots of holes on the ones I used for this build. The wheels and other goodies can be found here. https://www.rookieresin.com/ Thanks, Bill

Thank you all so very much for the kind words! It really is great to hear from you all!

Well I am calling this one done. I started with the Moebius 66 Ford stepside and created the truck I learned to drive in. I had to create many parts to convert the F100 to a F350 but for the most part, it turned out pretty good. I used the rear differential from the AMT Firestone kit and made the front suspension, mirrors, wheels, marker lights, rear springs, and interior parts which are all available at my website "Rookie Resin". I also made the fuel tank and side toolbox and may offer those as well in the future. The headliner was made using thin cardstock from an Iphone case and I used a dome light from the parts box. The bed was made with bass wood and the like. I went with the straight six for this build though the truck I drove was actually a 64 with a 292 v8. This is yet another build for my "Day in 1979" future diorama. Hope you like it! Comments welcome! Thanks, Bill

Looking fantastic so far Jim! I too am curious to see if Moebius gets the grill correct for the upcoming 67 but I am betting they will probably recycle the door panels, hood badges, and everything else from the earlier kits. We will see!

Thank you Kurt! Yes I have spent a lot of time on the Ford forums doing research on these and other builds. The folks on this forum are an excellent source for info and have been very helpful as well. I did make those marker lights and I sell them on my website if you are interested. Thanks again!
