Roger, you are quite right. I'm glad you mentioned these faults. I thought about correcting all those things, especially the incorrect tailgate lettering but decided to keep it as simple as possible. I did modify the rear window opening a bit but it is still far from correct. As far as ride height, this is a 4 wheel drive truck so it should be higher than stock 2 wheel drive. As I said, I may change to larger, more aggressive tires and wheels with hubs at some point but I like it this way displayed next to an AMT. For the price and what it is, this model isn't really too bad. -Rich

This is a resin model I bought a while ago that was built. I wasn't happy with it so took it apart, stripped it, and completely rebuilt it. I like the looks of these flat tops and have a couple of others I'll be posting at some point. I finished this one last week. I'm partial to 4 door cars and wagons so you will be seeing more coming up. But there will be 2 door cars too. Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the kind comments. Rich

I just finished these a couple of weeks ago. Hope you like the photos. Fell free to comment-good or bad. Rich

Thanks, I could take photos of this and the AMT side by side if anyone's interested.

Ertl's 60 Ford pickup can be made into a pretty nice model. Here are photos of one I did over and photos of how they look from Ertl. They are pretty easy to find. I purposely kept this build quite simple. I did grind out the back and make a floor and wheel wells as well as adding the hood emblems. I put stock wheels on it but did not drill out the centers of the front hubcaps as I have a set of larger tires and rims and thought I may change them out at some point. The colors are correct for 1960. I also have a few more unbuilt originals from AMT as well as one I built. Rich
