Awesome. Thanks for your responses. I will try these ideas.

What are you guys using to make the molded chrome headlights look more like headlights? I haven't been able to come up with anything that looks good. Thanks

That's awesome work so far. Can't wait to see the rest of the build. I have a f150 flareside kit I'm wanting to build as a pre-runner.

I say real!

Thanks Gary

Talk about good luck!!! Would you mind sending some of it this way?.....lol Ive been going to yard sales every weekend for the last month and a half and have no luck at all. So congrats on your find! Gary

Wow! I love those flames! How long did it take to get it down? I would love to learn how to do flames. What tips can you share? Thanks Gary

Jody, Sorry to hear about the loss. You, your wife, and all the family are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and God bless you and your family. Gary

thanks for the info on the coupons! I will keep my eye out for them for now on. thanks again Gary

Went to check out the Hobby Lobby here to see what they had on sale, and wouldnt you know........nothing!! Not a single model,paint, or any kind of supply on sale. I think everything else in the store was marked down anywhere from 20%-50% off. I was so disappointed. I figured I could use it as an excuse to talk my wife into leting me buy a kit or two for my b-day. Maybe next year I guess....lol by the way, where do you get the 40% off coupons?? thanks Gary

Coopdad over on http://offroadmodels.proboards.com/index.cgi posted a website were you can print the headlights. I just printed them, cut to fit and glued them on. I think they came out pretty good. Heres the site if you want to check it out.... http://www.magazinepublisher.com/models/headlights.pdf Thanks for the compliments. Hopefully Ill have some more pics soon. Thanks for looking Gary

Here in Wyoming? Been looking for a club or someone else in the area to get together with. Thanks Gary

It did when I first got it, but that was fixed soon after. I didnt like the whole Flintstone brake idea....lol

Heres some pics of a 79 that Im building to match the 1:1 that I had many yrs ago.. Let me know what ya'll think Thanks for looking Gary

WOW!! That is one nice and clean build! I really like the way the fender skirts look. I never would have thought to use skirts on a truck build. Keep up the good work. Gary

Dont forget the Hummer is getting the ax also. Or at least thats what I heard the other day on the radio from the Hummer dealer here in Casper. Of course the only real Hummers were the H1's in my opinion. H2's didnt like and when the H3's came out built on the Colorado frame and running gear that was just a sad disgrace to the Hummer name. Well thats my 2cents anyway. Have a good one.

Looking good! I love the stance you have for it. cant wait to see more

Did you scratch build your shocks? If so what did you use? I have a project coming up that shocks like that would be perfect. Keep up the great work. I am definetly following this thread! gary

Truck is looking great! I love the power plant you chose for it. Got me thinking that is what my next Bronco project needs. Keep up the great work and cant wait to see more!

Hey Toby, where did you find that F-150? I have been looking for one of those and havent been able to find one anywhere. Thanks Gary

still need to a bumper, but ready to role otherwise. let me know what you think. Thanks for looking. Gary

Day10: Its been a couple of days since I was able to stop and write. Finally made it to the wrecking yard. Found an old Dodge truck that still ran so I have been working on it. I also found a National Guard Armory about another couple blocks from the wrecking yard. Was able to find some .50 cal's, one mortar tube, and a few other odds and ends. Looking at some maps and books in the office of the wrecking yard, it looks like there is a Kraft factory a couple of hundred miles from where Im at now. As soon as I get this truck going I'll head that direction, hopefully there's still some food left there. Day 12: Got the truck ready to hit the road today. Didnt have any windows left in it so I welded a steel plate in for the back window, and tore down some of the chain link fence around the yard to cover the windsheild and door windows. Well its getting dark so its time to role! Kraft factory here I come.

Glad to hear that your ok Jody. Take it easy and relax, and heal up. Take care. Gary

Casey, Just know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers in th is time of loss. Take care and God bless you and your family. Gary

Day 4: I've been hiding out on the roof of an old gas station in the middle of this town. I've only seen a few zombies around, not as many as I thought Id see. The few that I've seen have been heading in the direction of the city. They must be out of food here. Ive spotted a house not far from here that I will use as a hide out. Just need to wait until night fall to make my way there. Day 5: Made it to the house last night. Found a zombie in the kitchen having dinner with what looked to be the family dog. A quick 12 gauge slug to the head put an end to his dinner plans. Other then that everything is clear. I will be using the attic to stay in, just incase any unwanted visitors show up. From the attic window I seen what looks like a wrecking yard about 2 blocks from here. I will make sure and get there tomorrow and see what I can find.
