MCM Regular

MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. Suspension system looks similar to the Reyco type used on the WF DD. I'm thinking Garwood refuse body🙂
  2. Nice to see one of these Stratos, one of the best engineered kits out there. Great job on the vintage KW, color combo looks very 50's.
  3. Right, a great conversion kit to a '57. Just a grill change won't work, hood, fenders and bumper used are completely different than that of a '60. Hopefully we see a '58 and '59 conversion kit from Best Model Car Parts also, because we won't see it from AMT.
  4. Back in the day wide base steel wheels and 12-16.5" tires were popular with camper pickups, usually just used on rear only with standard narrow wheels on front. Fireball has some wide 9.75" 8 lug 16.5" wheels (fronts and rears) and 12-16.5" HIGHWAY tires, another wish has come thru. Great for use with the AMT Ford F 350 Super Camper Special kits and of course the Moebius '67-'72 series. Thanks Fireball!
  5. Thanks for all the positive comments! Forgot to mention the saddle fuel tanks were AITM. The inspiration photos.
  6. Or the even beefier 6500 series with larger front bumper! (same front bumper used on Crackerbox's)
  7. Beautiful build, you captured the look and feel perfectly. Not easy to do this conversion, you have my respect, I've been begging for a resin mid 60's freightliner cab for years for us lower skilled builders. What did you use for the fender lip?
  8. Finally finished this vintage tanker project, used the Frontier resin Ford cab and Keystone resin single axle tanker. Both resin pieces required some putty work and reworking. Engine is a C series 534, trans is a KW 5 speed, frame used was shortened GMC Astro.
  9. This topic came up a while back, IMO, the Mack R685 engine appears to have the right dimensions of a big 6 gas job.
  10. Hubcaps for '60 F 100's were always painted argent silver with red letters. Hubcaps used on Moebius box art look a little deceiving, no chrome, no black ring around the circumference.
  11. Excellent build and diorama, looks like a Universal Studio's back lot scene from the 60's. The tu tone paint job is perfect!
  12. Very nice conversion to single rear axle, single stack and single headlights. Door mounted mirrors and Freightliner 22's look great. Detail work is superb! Nice intake manifold, what kit was that from?
  13. Excellent build, the detailing is fantastic, especially like the grill, radiator and bumper work, looks super realistic!
