Moebius/ Model King 1966 F100 Styleside short bed resto mod "Hard Parked" Edition The only parts used oob are the interior tub, seat, dash & wheel, and of course, the body. This truck is almost entirely 3d printed. I used a custom chassis with all tubular suspension components, bags that are modified to fit, as well as the pumps & tank. Some very nice 21" factory style steelies. Billet Coyote with ITB's and a pair of small block chevy headers that fit coincidentally, too well. Batteries, switches, radiator & cap, etc etc. Lots and lots of dry fitting and adjusting with a slow setting CA glue. Once the suspension was finalized, I had to set the track width to get the wheel fit flush. I filled the door handles, emblems and gas cap for a nice shaved esthetic. Now I can finally finish up the body work on the inside of the bed and scratch a tonneau cover.

My current project, Moebius/ Model King 1966 F100 Styleside short bed. Lots and lots of dry fitting and adjusting with a slow setting CA glue.

MCW enamel finishes and lots of revell chrome to come. -
This is looking gorgeous. I am excited to see it completed, yet sad to see it go at the same time. Phenomenal build, good sir.
-
I really like where this build is going.

I am right there with you, man. It's sad to see the kulture and all of the involved skills slowly fade away. There's not enough young guys like me trying to bring it all back, and preserve that amazing piece of American history.
-
Well, good thing I have a ton of patience. I most definitely will be doing lots of practice before commiting. I have a Watson style panel paint job to finish before doing a fade. I think my 51 Belair will be the perfect candidate for the fade. I might do something similar to what they did on Jesse James' 54 Belair the legends built on Monster Garage. I absolutely love the reverse fade.
-
Now that looks absolutely killer. That fade is absolutely amazing. I think you have inspired me again to try something new.
-
Excellent work. I can't wait to see it in the sunlight to really let those colors show.

I found a 61 galaxie salt flat car I want to replicate, so I may continue on that path anyway and just put the custom roof on the 60 starliner since it's getting removed.
-
Happy to see you back and working hard. I may have to attempt a similar roof swap on my 61 Galaxie If I decide not to chop in a starliner roof.

It's really too bad these roofs don't fit without a ton of work. If it wasn't such a bear to finish, I'd have a lot more of these. -
This is easily my favorite generation and styling of the F100. Excellent work, Tim. You did this subject some justice. I have three of the AMT repop, puchased a resin short box. I was on a mission to buy the earlier model promo grilles and resin cast them for the community, but they are pretty outrageous in price for single parts.

Beautiful execution. Everyone needs a 3 cyl turbo in their life.

She's a beautiful machine. Chevy II are my favorite and I have the Moebius kit being set up as a pro mod. I'll post updates after I have photos taken. -

My biggest project on the table. Ford F250 Ranger Super Modified 4x4 puller. These are set up just like promod drag cars. Blown and methanol injected. No detail will be missed. She is now torn down and being prepped for a wild paint job. Yes, five pedals to control the monster. From left to right, clutch, reverser, LF brake, RF brake, and throttle. I scratch built the rear lift system and hydraulic ram.
