Jordan White

Finally got this finished. I decided to paint it like the rare Syclone Marlboro, but give it a set of white painted IROC wheels. Did a little underhood detailing, but otherwise it's stock. Enjoy!

Well golly gee I actually finished this one, which is now posted in the Under Glass area.

Haha competing awesomeness, good thinking! Actually he should do the Sierra GT, since he likes GMC more than Chevy!

That's why I like the Nite (other than being black with blackout trim), people don't really know about it. Well, that and the fact that you could get one with 4WD and a 5-speed, unlike the Lightning.

I use this site that has a whole bunch of old car brochures for American cars. And here ya go Mr. Show! http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/ford/87tbird.html

Thanks for the info. I don't think it was offered in the Nite, from the brochure I found, but it's not a big deal. It could just be a special order.

No it had the polished cast aluminum wheels offered on the other F-150 models. The Lightning had the directional 5-spokes. Edit: here's a pic

Thanks, I won't get any more updates until at least saturday because I have to do a bunch of spray painting, but can't where I'm currently at.

Guess I could start posting on this build here. I'm starting with the AMT F-150 Shortbox and planning on building it as a 1992 2WD with the Nite trim level. Major components of the package: Raven Black exterior with body color bumpers and grille Choice of blue or pink side stripe with Nite badging on box sides, tailgate, and dashboard, as well as Nite floormats Polished aluminum wheels and white letter tires Sport suspension on the 2WD Standard 302 V8 or optional 351 V8 Sliding rear window I'm going to make it look like it was just purchased from the dealership, which means super clean and of course a window sticker. First thing I finished was the interior. The parts were molded in a light brown plastic, so I figured it would be perfect to make a tan interior. I also had to fabricate a shift lever since the kit didn't come with one.

Eh it's a little of both really!

Thanks for the compliment! Rough and crude is the way I roll baby*. *Not really, but I built this in my dorm room with barely any work space!

Certainly a lot better than the stock 305 that was in it!

The hitch is from my spare parts, and I just made the mounting plate for it.

Haha luckily I already knew that!

Well that's how the paint was when I got it, I figure it could just be the paint underneath showing through.

Actually I have one I could add, hold on!

Built this up to be sort of a beater/project car. I did plenty of work for how simple of a build this was. I had to completely rebuild the front and rear suspension, dropped in a new engine/transmission, added a new driveshaft, built a custom hood scoop, built a roll bar in the bed with wired-up lights, wired the engine and added hoses, built a custom dual exhaust with chrome tips, and I painted the wheels black with silver hubs. Also added a bumper mounted hitch with "poorly-drilled mounting plate", of course completely planned and not a mishap or anything! When I got it: Final result:

Boy, the amount of detail you're going into for such a basic vehicle, I love it! One thing that is severely bugging me though, is your title which is GMV instead of GMC. You can go back to the first post, hit edit, and then advanced edit, and change the title.

Hmm... real or #152...I'm going to go with #152!

Community builds are simply builds that have a common theme and several people build a vehicle to fit that theme. Sometimes it's just for fun, and sometimes there's a vote for a winner.

Alright, I get it now! Course I'll still stick with my rubber tires thank you very much! Oh, I thought of something else, rubber tires are much better if you want to mount a narrower tire on a wider "wheel" or a narrower wheel on a wider tire, such as on off-road vehicles! Ha!

Easier to make them look real than real rubber?

Seriously, puns guys? This is knot the time or place! Sheesh!

Believe it or not, it's actually the younger people that are purchasing the Buicks. I'm sure it's so people will think they are wealthy or something.
