  1. Looks good, 'cept the blue seats don't look right. They should either be tan or at least match the exterior.
  2. Yikes, are you creating a whole history for it? I can tell you that it probably came with Goodyear Polyglas GT tires. Edit: Found a VIN Decoder that puts the plant in Hamtramck, MI. http://www.angelfire.com/oh3/1970challenger/vin.html
  3. No, I don't see The Bandit driving!
  4. I actually have a brochure for the 1989 trucks, and it says that the 2WD F-350 is supposed to have a monobeam front axle, and the 4WD F-350 has a solid front axle (4WD F-250 still has TTB). So it goes: Bronco: 2WD-Twin I Beam 4WD-TTB, Front Coil F-150: 2WD-Twin I Beam 4WD-TTB, Front Coil F-250: 2WD-Twin I Beam 4WD-TTB, Front Leaf Spring F-350: 2WD-Monobeam 4WD-Solid Axle, Front Leaf Spring
  5. Don't you mean IH Scout?
  6. Oh I'm sure it is. That's my plan with the "new" F-250 kit coming back out. Course the Bronco is 1/25 and the F-Series are 1/24, but it shouldn't be that big of a difference.
  7. I have the AMT Bronco sitting in front of me, and it has the correct coils with trailing arms. *shrug* In any case though, it looks like your best bet is just throwing in solid axles, since I can't think of any place that makes resin TTBs. Edit: No problem in having multiple unused Bronco kits sitting around, I'm sure they would be easy to trade off since other people could use them for building a custom Bronco, or for building a 1980-86 F-150/250/350 or 1987-1996 Bronco.
  8. What I would really like to see is a scale, say, 33" BFG All-Terrain T/A. They are one of the most popular off-road tires, heck I'm even running them!
  9. Actually, don't forget that AMT produced a version of the Bronco, and you can still find it at Model Roundup. IMO, it has a better TTB due to the fact that it is in separate pieces, whereas (correct me if I'm wrong) the Monogram Bronco has the TTB as a single piece.
  10. Here's the color you should do: Looking on Google images, most are orange, red, and yellow, but you don't see to many green versions.
  11. Reaper: yeah they did, it has the teal colored truck on the box with all the accessories. Nails: looks great! Only issue is on the factory trucks, the upper color separation was actually below the indent in the body and didn't in fact line up with the taillight.
  12. I don't have a spray both seeing as I just spray outside (I use spray cans), but wouldn't a couple computer fans work (not to mention they're pretty cheap), or wouldn't they move enough air?
  13. Go right on ahead, you have until the end of June!
  14. Watch the TV instead?
  15. Don't worry too much about the duplication, there's a lot of times where the headers are different on either side due to clearance issues.
  16. Are you going to remove the plastic from where you cut off the roof?
  17. Winch and brush guard are from the 80's GMC short bed kit.
  18. Picked it up on Amazon for 18 bucks (including shipping). There are ones that are in better condition, but they cost $30+. I believe there's also one in fair condition for 10 bucks.
  19. Rules on the first page don't mention it has to be a 4x4, so I guess any is allowed. Rolltide: you should update the first post.
  20. Most of the time I have just been able to copy and paste the image into Word.
  21. I use Open Office Drawing, which is great for resizing the images and lining them all up for best fit.
  22. Well, besides the 1972 Trucks and Blazers, I know there's a GMC grille conversion already. At least the Blazer, not sure if it would work on the trucks. http://www.banditresins.com/gmc_jimmy.html
  23. Well try posting one here and we can help you out.
