Thanks guys, I might try to scratch build a frame but for right now I need help. What can I do to fix the tailgate without messing up the letters?

Thanks again guys. It was nice to make a junker again, it's been a while.

I love what your doing, great idea & execution.

BEAUTIFUL BUILD!!!

I got this last year from a friend and figured I should rebuild it for my garage as a shop truck. I got it taken apart & it's in pretty good shape even though it had a lot of stuff glued on it. I'm not sure but I might get one of the new 65 66 F100 kits for the chassis.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the great comments.

$3.00 flea market rebuild, slump buster.

I'm with you, I hate installing glass.

This is a linberg Charger super bee that I got at ollies for 7.99 a while ago. I've never built a car newer than a 1970s before so this is all new too me. I hated the new charger when it came out because it's a 4 door so I'm trying to make it a 2 door.

Are you planning on building this car? If so, I can't wait to see it & I hope you do it "on the workbench" so we can all watch it come together.

Great job, that's one nice looking "T".

I love this truck! Great colors, really nice body & I love the trim work on the sides. I drove one like it as a kid only mine was green.

Beautiful! 57 Fords are my favorite cars ever since I was a kid and this is the best looking model of a wagon I've seen. I wish I had your talent to make one look this nice.

I've had this happen too. If I don't put my beard in a pony tail or tuck it in my shirt it ends up knocking things off the bench. Sometimes there's paint in it & parts. I think if I work on something too long I'll have my own personal junkyard on my face. Talk about losing something & finding it right under your nose!?

The top looks great & the I love that radiator shell. It wont be long & the primer & paint should be flying.

I wish I had this for my collection! Great job!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

It looks like the real thing. Lots of great detail & the weathering is perfect! Great job!

Beautiful! I can't wait to see it finished.

I love it! Great weathering, and a very cool combo.

Thanks Paul, I used some thinned down flat grey waterbase paint. Nothing fancy just some old craft paint I had lying around. I brushed it on heavy, (making sure to get it in the scribed lines good) waited a few minutes to kind of soak in & then wiped it with a dry paper towel. I did it a couple times until it looked good to me. It was a trial & error thing that happened to work out. I tried to make the bathroom look like most I remember seeing as a kid. You could use it if you HAD TO but really didn't want to.?

I started this back in 2016 & got 4 walls up. It was good enough for a backdrop when taking pictures but I keep seeing all these great garage dioramas you guys are doing & I figure it's time to get mine going again. It wont be easy, I still don't have my model stuff ready from the move but I'm hoping this will get me fired up to do some work. There was a post for it a while ago but the pictures were lost so here I go again. I started with the walls, they're made from sheet rock, I removed the paper from one side & scribed the lines for the blocks. I used some thin board I found in the garage for the floor & just painted it grey. I built the bathroom from left over pieces of sheet rock & scrap plastic. I glued the rear wall & left side wall in place for now. I'm leaving the other side & front loose so i can remove them for getting better pictures. I have a few tools in it now but nothing permanent, I have a couple tool kits to built that will look better. Good or bad, let me know what you think.

Wow, those shocks & water pump look great. Nice detail.

I got a big box of them a while ago. The 62 F100 is just getting a good cleaning & put on a shelf, but the 40 Ford I want to rebuild. It just looks cool to me.

WOW, this is some really cool stuff. Here are a few tow truck bodies & booms I built and my Model A Ford Buzz Saw unit.
