Well, after a weekend of work I finally got the body readyfor paint. I think I did a pretty fair job considering what it was like before.

Picked it up at a yard sale for $1.50 just straight out of box with some flocking. (Hood fitment is better than in the pick, I just didn'y put it on well for the pic)

So, I decided to pull this one out and make it look a little more complete. This is just a mix of old parts, but is without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in model building. I put in a duel exhaust and a winshield frame. I would like some more ideas for some more stuff I could do to this little fella.

double post.

So, I found this at a yard sale for free so I thought I would see what I could do with it. The problems: 1. The body itself was in terrible shape, someone had brushe painted the entire thing with about 3 coats of different paint. The bady was covered in a glue substance and everything was misfitted. 2. Interior was jjust in rough shape, it was painted silver with paint that looked like it may have been to thin. 3. The chasis and engine were totally shot, I managed to piece the chasis back together, and will probably just build this model curbside with a glued hood. The first item of business was the body after ALOT of sanding, scraping, puttying, and cursing. It is ready for the primer. I'll try to keep updates coming.

Looking good man keep up the good work.

Sure am glad for global warming, imagine how bad this would be without it.

Here's my f-150

Sure rail freak.

Nice work I love it.

This is just a basic one week build, one of the best fitting kits ever. This kit was really just a joy to work on and i am very pleased with the results. Color is fabric tan and Root beer.

That looks nice, going to paint mine white then add some mud and dirt.

The engine directions are just sorta weird. I'll work it out, want sort of a dirty off road look.

Wow, that lindberg F-150 kit is already a pain.

Picked up a F-150 today, I'll see what I can do with it.

Lookin good, hoping to pick up my kit soon.

Gotta go model don't like the way the dash looks.

Lol thats funny I got it right on the first page though.

Deadline has been moved to June 31st.

Yes, jeepster thats fine.

O.k. heres the kit. Ya its a snap kit, got it from a friend free because he messed up the body, however none of the other parts were touched so in a week heres what I've done. There's the interior, Just need to add the small finishing details. Finally got that stance right. Body still needs alot of work, but it coming right along.

Looking good so far, i'll post progress once I make some.

Sure you can enter that, lets just keep it to no cars.

Great good luck.

Need more people, come on guys surely you got a truck you could put together.
