Might be able to make something happen with a '63 F100.

So here's where the dually stands as of now. The bull horns came from Iceman Collections, and the decals came from Gopher Racing. Since I used the modified Escalade cowl, I also used the Escalade kit's separate wipers. Over the last few years Bubbas have taken to slapping big, ugly towing mirrors on these trucks. This project was crying out for such a treatment. I nabbed these from a Testors Ford F650. I went with the factory steel wheels painted red, with the pale blue body it kinda has a vintage Gulf look going. The grille was made from train car siding, with a GMC emblem from a '95 Sonoma. The GMC Motorsports decal is from an old Slixx sheet.

Yee (and I cannot express this strongly enough) Haw...

And here's a quick mockup, showing the 4/6" drop.

So, the overall theme for this is going to be a "used and abused example of somebody's former pride and joy". To that end, the inside of the bed has been bashed over the head with some rust simulators. The fifth wheel is the old Scenes Unlimited piece, and it'll also be wearing an Iceman Collections headache rack.

Abruptly switching gears... Getting started on a '96 C3500 with a second generation Escalade clip.

AMT kit I bought for parts, with the remainder built as a curbside. I made up a chrome bar grille, went for a yellowed "Euro lens" look, and fitted it with Hoppin' Hydros Monster Toras, backed by parts box rotors up front and drums in back. The idea was an old mild custom driver that's just recently been hauled out of storage, loosely based on a truck I used to see around my hometown.

Technically saw this driving down the industrial park on my way back from my lunch break. That's my Mark LT photo bombing a couple shots...

Not sure what I'm going for but I'm going for something...

I'm actually having Bedlam Creations make some for me, I'll certainly let everyone know how that works out. ?

Thank you for the links. I actually have the one set already, I'm just looking for something more "contemporary" like in the pics I posted. ?

I've seen the type printed on photo paper but maybe I can refine my search parameters.

Looking for any sources for these types of graphics, water slides or adhesive back. I've tried printing a few with my home printer, but I've never been happy with the results.

The Jag has a tentative name now... "Limey Samurai". I have a firewall fabbed up, still considering flares or maybe even a wheel and tire swap. The idea is to have the outside rundown looking. Chassis still needs a little fine tuning and I need to make a new exhaust intermediate pipe, but it's getting there.

A little more work on the Dodge.

AMT kit converted to four wheel drive with parts from the MPC 1982 Bronco, painted with Duplicolor Ford Toreador Red.

Idea I've had for a while. Jaguar Mk II infused with a little R32 Skyline GT-R goodness. The Jag's original inline six with end up in a hot rod of some type.

Basically a bunch of spare Moebius parts built up with a scratch built ladder rack and decorated with Halloween themed stickers. It's driven by a skeleton from the Rommel's Rod kit. Eventually it might end up as part of a roadside display advertising a haunted hayride attraction.

Built this for the Power By Ford Community Build. AMT kit built as an airbagged ratty hauler with a DOHC Cobra 4.6 V8.. The bed is scratch built and carries an Iceman Collections milk crate and fifth wheel. The door lettering was done with Woodland Scenics dry transfers over Colorshot Kale, weathered with Vallejo acrylics.

AMT kit with Moebius mirrors, door handles, and rear bumper. Intake and carburetor came from my spares stash. The front plate came from Best Model Car Parts and the rear one came from Three Inches Under. It's finished in weathered Rust-Oleum Summer Squash with a Revell USA full coat. The red trim accents were done with a Gundam marker.

Fujimi kit, lifted and fitted with Aoshima Bridgestone all terrain tires. It has a scratch built top panel and half cab and it's has a gooseneck hitch for pulling a sprayer. Maybe one of these days I'll make the sprayer setup to go with it. Paint is Testors Diamond Dust.

The Moebius '68 Mercury M100, lowered on AMT printed tires. It has a parts box floor shifter and '66 Mercury Park Lane valve covers. The 427 and Mercury script decals came from a Model King Cyclone NASCAR. Paint is distressed Rust-Oleum Ink Blue.

Roswell New Mexico resident Larry Fernandez spent a dozen years and about 70,000 miles behind the wheel of his Flathead V8 powered 1978 Ford Courier. When he finally sold it to a guy in Michigan in 2021, he decided it was time to get back to his other Flathead project, his V-12 1950 Ford F-1. Purchased by Larry's grandfather, Eligio "Lee" Fernandez, in 1969, Larry got the truck upon Lee's passing in 1996. Repowered with a 1953 vintage Flathead V8 and given a cosmic refresh in 1973, it was treated to an even more extensive restoration in 1994. It was Larry's "main secondary" vehicle all the way up to 2015, when the retrofitted, twice rebuilt Flattie spun a bearing. It wouldn't be until the COVID 19 shutdowns and Larry's subsequent voluntary early retirement that he really got serious about the project. He'd procured a 1948 vintage Lincoln V-12 in 2011, and had all the parts needed for a rebuild. He also got some aluminum heads and a triple carb intake. Said V-12 was thusly rebuilt and painted in the shade of matte green he'd chosen to retain from the 1994 restoration. It's channeled through the same floor shifted four speed manual that's been in the truck since 1973. The chassis had been fitted with a Mustang II front suspension and a four link rear during the 1994 rebuild. Larry freshened the chassis and installed an adjustable air suspension. The interior was basically left alone, just thoroughly cleaned and the seat was recovered. Larry left the weather-beaten fenders as-is, but went with a matte version of the truck's previous shade of green. The truck finally hit the road in the late spring of 2024. Originally it had a set of 18" Torq Thrusts, but after a while, Larry wanted a change. Around the same time, his buddy Jason was also looking for something different for his yellow '49 F-1. So eventually, the friends switched rolling stock... Larry's '50 got the flipper caps and wide whites from Jason's '49, and Jason's '49 got the 18" Torq Thrusts from Larry's '50. Larry might repaint them in matte green. Some day. For now, he's too busy running it every chance he gets. The kit is, of course, the Revell Monogram '50 Ford F-1. The green is Rust-Oleum Satin Moss Green and the fenders are weathered black primer. The wheels donated by Larry's buddy Jason are yellow because that's originally the color I had in mind. It's lowered by... basically a LOT of cutting. ? The engine is a resin part from The Parts Box of Australia. I wired it and used different carburetors and air cleaners, and used the stock Ford oil filter. Yes, the engine is 1:24 scale and the truck is 1:25, but I wasn't concerned about scale fidelity for this one. It was just an idea I felt like I needed to attempt. Now that I've lathed the idea into existence, I guess I'll have to build Jason's yellow '49 at some point. Anybody know of a good set of 18" Torq Thrusts in 1:25? ??

Got a start on something. It's a '78 Dodge chassis but it may or may not end up with a Dodge cab or power train.

Not a lot to take in here. Box stock Tamiya kit, finished in Tamiya Mica Blue and Krylon Slate. The seat decals broke apart and the rear Isuzu letter decal silvered but overall I'm pleased enough.
