No not at all. I just made sure all the crossmembers were clean and was careful how I set them making sure everything was square as I went. For an older moulding the parts had a pretty good fit, was an easy thing to assemble

Do I see another Restorod project? Dropped with a huge engine , zoomie headers, chrome rims ………. ?

yeah, I’m going to have to restock as well, seems I use one or two sizes more often than others, I should have thought ahead when I was at your local, last fall. 🙄

Brilliant. !! -
Steve, I absolutely agree 100%. As I mentioned, this was not Ford’s finest hour, and it is homely for sure, but lends itself to all sorts of conversions as they must’ve built a couple billion of them over the years, they must’ve been a robust platform , but beauty was not part of the show …. LOL. I hope I can make it shine , thanks for checking in .

Well , here we go again …. Bolts …. The bolts on the inspection plates on Ron’s automatic 🤭are grossly undersized to my old eyes as are the ones on the rear end , so, with that said ….. we have bolts

Resto Rod Autocar
Biggu replied to Gary Chastain's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Man, ............. this is cool -
Thanks for those pics Tommy. You are correct about the C series adapting. It did that in spades. The kit is technically a C-600 but I am going to ‘upgrade’ it to an 800 which in this case is mostly just changing the badging. I does have the bucket seat option and the optional automatic transmission but has wedge brakes where as I will try to upgrade to S cam brakes, the Dayton rims will go in favor of optional 5 hole Budds, just a few little details. I do hope I can pull this off in a decent manner. Thanks for checking in and the cool photos.

I hope I can pull it off but with the generosity of Jurgen and Bren this could be a cake walk. Fingers crossed

I may have to call upon you guys for advice and guidance ................ keep me out of trouble...LOL!!!!
