seeing a few 4x4 projects made me want to do one so heres the 99 F150 Lightning 4x4 or as ford now calls it the SVT Raptor using model rear end and springs added styrene blocks for lift tranfer case from a 97 F150 4x4 kit all i got for now well need lots of help for the front questions/comments welcome thanks blue504life

thanks guys mustang- i have so many bodies for the evo chassis (both car and truck) the list would look like a paragraph. ranging from a 1970 BOSS 429 to a VW new beetle for cars, trucks range from a 94 lightning to a half-track vizio- the GT500 5.4 with out the charger? must look kinda weird

hey everyone this is my first project thread and first real model (my other stuff is R/C) (all pics will be replaced with better ones tomorrow) basically ill be starting with a AMT "RIDES" 65 Galaxie the idea was simple build a galaxie to resemble my uncles real one so i started by trying to figure out how to add a simple 302 under the hood had to cut part of the trans tunnel out and lower the rear transmission mounts uncles has chopped pipes so i did that too then found a motor from something else i had laying around 5.0 from a 93 cobra kit i believe that looks good, but really isn't enough motor for this tank looked at all the other kits i have laying around to find a better motor and found a Revell 07 GT500 kit and built the motor no paint for now so thats where i am now, not really sure how to finish the mounting of what ever motor i use, suggestions? thanks blue504life (Shane)

haha i was hoping you wouldnt ask that well im into the later foxbody era mustangs and to me the simpler the paint the better so the yellow stripe although this car can pull it off just looks funny with the red most of the black on the front cap should be body color, only the head light bezels should be black i wouldnt have done the hood decal but it works on this car the "SVT" on the deck lid, nice addition but in 79 the Special Vehicle Team wasnt even though of so a "SVO" logo would have been a little closer to the time line (although SVO wasnt until 82-83ish) well im done complaining about this awesome build heres my 80 turbo cobra thank you for the opportunity to speak my mind on this car

beautiful car, looks nothing like the 1980 kit i have. theres a lot of things i would have done differently, but hey its not my car, looks great though

nice focus(es?) RS(es?) where'd you get the kits from? would you mind adding a few pictures of the underside and drive train? i have a 1:1 SVT focus and one of the models just want to see the difference

that is beautiful, i have now decided what colors with R/C thunderbolt will be.

i now use the superclean stuff, i have it about half water half cleaner. the paint started to come off as soon as i set it in the box, about a hour and a half later about 85% of the paint was gone really really cool stuff

thanks, yes it is a xmod, i have many that i will very slowly post hahaha, it sure seems that way

Here's some a few pics of my 1950 Ford F1 model kit converted to a R/C truck started life as a model now rests as a real working truck, i will get some pictures of the chassis once i get it back from being built thanks questions/comments welcome blue504life

well yeah to a sertent extent, if you get in to it, let me know ill help the best i can

well as you all know every model is different, the chassis comes with a small spacer to fit the body that comes with the chassis, in my case a 05 mustang. when you first start out you buy extra spacers and add them together, or take the time to cut styrene to fit it just right better shot of chassis, streched

its fairly common actually there radio shack xmods the chassis is infront the orange car, that is an old broken one

thanks to all Zukiholic old revell i got off ebay and no its a xmod, cant afford a mini z fordh8r yep a r/c, the chassis is a 1:28 and body a 1:25 the hood fits pretty good, i think when i moved it the hood moved Robert81 yep its a evo dryvr12 model to r/c hanks again for the comments

a chevy powered ford, just trash it now, liking the way its going just not the chevy part

heres my most resiliently finished car 1980 turbo cobra please dont be too harsh with it, i have been looking around you guys are awesome at this, ive been at this hobby for a year now, so im still learning thanks oh yeah it is a R/C, and i know one side is lower than the other, i think my mounts broke free EDIT: ill get pics with it all fixed and nice tomorrow

Ayatollah all depends on how you drive it, but i understand what your saying, ive had some parts brake off before, just glue them back mustang thats what i do, i have no real models all R/C (pics will be last) henry thats what i wanted to hear link to all my R/Cs http://www.xmodsource.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12200 names upon request thats only the finished ones

does any one else do this? i have somewhere between 9 and 12 conversions done its just better than haveing a car that sits there thanks blue504life

thanks, theres is none on the site, kinda sucks, next is ebay. thanks again

im sure this is an old thread, but i have been looking at these LX coupes for a while now and i was wondering where i could buy one of who sell them. thanks
