That would be awesome to see for sure!

Yep, that long wheel base looks much better. Great decision.

Not to steal your thread, here. But I have a question and maybe you can help. I sell parts to a guy who owns a pretty awesome 27 model T on a 32 frame. He wants to commission a build. However, when I look at his tub and turtle deck they're flush at the top. The AMT 25' has a huge height difference between the two. Do I chop the tub or raise the turtle deck? He says the steel is all original and nothing is modified. I know absolutely nothing about T's.

Stretched frame is definitely the way to go. I did this on my 32 sedan and it really changes the whole attitude of the car.

Gorgeous build. I'd love to see the build process so I can see how you chopped up the cab. I want to give my hand a try at making one.

These are some very nice and highly detailed builds. Very nice work, sir.

My Moebius/ Model King 66 F100 Styleside short bed project. Lot's of 3d printed parts. Not much oob is left. It's currently in the paint process and should be finished within the next couple of weeks. I have a build thread if anyone wants to follow along.

I wonder if they fixed the body alignment issues that plagued all of the priors. I'd love to use that chop top with the rest of the front panels.

Do it. Finish her up and get to posting so we can see what you've been up to

Thanks for all of the compliments, gents. I have shaping tools that I have made from a soda can. The one I will use is crescent shaped. I use tamiya extra thin quick set type to soften the rod as I use the tool to shape the beads to give it a realistic effect. The car will have a bare metal finish. Slammed, stretched, channeled, chopped and sometimes, sectioned is the way to go. Extreme is certainly my style. And as far as extreme goes, this car will look amazing next to my frame laying 66 F100, which is about to get painted this weekend. I have a build thread here... https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/204408-moebius-model-king-1966-f100-styleside-short-bed-hard-parked-edition/#comment-3091818

Thanks, sir. Once I finish my 66 F100, I will be right back in the saddle with this one. I am excited to recreate the open roof with the wood cross bracing in place. However, I have thought of recreating the cross bracing to look like steel with lots of lightening holes and matching bomber seats for that Kool Kustom rod aesthetic.

I have been fully motivated to finish mine. I wasn't able to participate during the time frame because I have moved twice last year. But I have managed to get quite a bit done. I used stretched sprue on the top chop so i can go back and recreate the weld detail. This is a big thing in the armor building scene where I come from.

I finalized some body work and finally got the body unified. My MCW paints have arrived and I can finally get the body and chassis painted. I bought both Buttescotch Yellow and Daytona Yellow to see which I like more. Wimbledon White will be the base for the two tone. I did some test shots of revell chrome on bare SLA resin to see what it looks like...No black backer is needed for that crazy stuff.

Yeah,I feel ya there. I live South Dakota, or as we say here,"Southern Canada". The temps have definitely dropped here as well. However, my spray booth is in my little studio and I can keep everything warm since it's in the house.

She's looking pretty good so far.
