Wow, I'll be watching this cool Bronco come together!

It's the Takom 1/16th new issue, no build thread yet, but I should, Cheers! I made the rims and am using R/C tires, plus I modified the suspension, oh, yeah all that will be in the build thread! LOL

This thing is on the back burner while I finish my 1/16th scale Jeep, but I WILL get back to it for sure, cheers!

Great Hot Rod project Greg, I'm lovin' the detail shots with explanations, cool stuff!

Wow that's a beautiful build, great color combo and stance, sweet!

Wow, that is beautiful, sets a very pleasant tone, I love it! I'd love to be there!!

Very cool project, love it!

WOW! Loving this build, please keep posting pics, it's so cool, so cool!

Love that stance!

Very cool project, or projects! Where did you get that underhood piece?

For an "easy" white paint job, I've used Tamiya fine white primer followed by clear, from the can!!! I wasn't planning on white, but it looked so good, it's so fine.

Off to a good start, choose a color yet?

Texas 3D some very nice stuff he makes! I have bought a few times. Here's some of his engines I have, I made the "labels" myself.

I also made this little piece to go under the rad, it hides my sloppy glue holding the rad in place!

1: I mounted the rad with a slight lean so that I could fit the intake over and in front of it. 2: I made a little side filler neck and put a 3D cap on it sitting level. Also made a serpentine belt from .010 X .040 styrene painted rubber black and found some tiny white letters on a decal to add to it, not sure what they say, they're the tiniest I had! 3: This is what will show through the opened up grille........... eventually!

1: So I mounted the engine and driveshafts in the frame, it's a tight fit, but so far, so good! 2: I took a rad from a Nascar kit and decided to mount it backwards, so I had to remove the fan shroud, first by making several cuts this way: 3: Then I cut the shroud off this way. 4: Next I filed the rad down to leave a reveal on the top and sides so I could put some photo-etch rad screen into the front.

This is so cool! Can't wait to see more of it! I love "different"!

All I need to say is WOW!

Nice two tone! Looks great!

Very impressive work! I'm watching and enjoying the ride! Cheers.

Looking real good, nice build!

I submitted my form, we should all, that way they have a better idea of what WE want to see in the magazine! Basically, model cars! Cheers

Steve, your Dodge looks amazing, well because it IS amazing!

I love this project, looks so cool. You'll fix the paint I'm sure. I always have painting issues, but they get fixed! Cheers, keep on "truckin"

So when I decided to cut the hood open, and make the inner fenders and firewall, I made them a bit taller than the way the kit was designed, which was curbside. This would allow me to have a body lift kit, sort of, as the frame will now sit a bit lower, body a bit higher. That meant the interior would be too deep, so I made the rear compartment, which I plan to have painted sheet metal to match the body, and added that to the body. I can put spacers on the underside of the rear compartment floor to keep the frame level, but mounted to the front as planned. That might explain some of the pictures in the post above!
