Mobeius 69 F100 update 6/4/16
665@213 replied to 665@213's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Hey guys! Been away from the bench for a bit. Got a stupid cold that kicked my butt Lol. Got a few things done last night. Got some accent painting done on the valve covers & intake cover. I also redid the firewall, made it completely smooth. Waiting on some Tamiya clear and some other things to get here, then I will be back on it good. -

Hey folks! Got a little color on my 69 today. Only 2 coats so far, maybe 2 more, then some clear. I still have to mask off the sides and shoot the side trim Wimbledon white. Now onto the interior and chassis detailing! -

Also cleaned up the frame a bit more, finished all the mock up of the front and rear suspension. I modified the firewall to get a little more clearance for the engine. Also mocked up the radiator from the Boss 302 kit -

Thanks everyone! I got a little bit more done on the F100 today. I tightened up the gap on the rear bumper, got some color on the wheels and washed the hubcaps. -

Hey everyone. Not a huge update, but I did get some mock up done on the rear suspension. I modified the crossmember from the AMT Wagon rod and modified the 4 link bars a bit. Now I need to scour the parts boxes for some decent looking coil overs. Also started filling some mounting points from the leaf spring attaching points. -

I never thought about guitar string! It does have that texture like the plastic loom on a harness. -

Hey Rob. I got the engine from the Revell Boss 302 kit. -
I was wondering what is available out there to make a realistic appearing engine harness. Any thoughts or ideas? I'm doing a 69 F100 with a new Coyote 5 liter and want to liven it up a bit.

Thanks for the comments! Did some work on the suspension & engine placement today. Nascar taurus front upper & lower arms. Using the 5 liter from the ' 13 Boss 302 kit and upper intake from the '14 Mustang GT. Rear suspension will be the 4 link setup from the AMT Wagon rod. -

I googled "resin cast steel wheels" and that took me to a seller named forward resin on ebay. I think they are 9.99 a set plus shipping. I've gotten several sets. Hers a link. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Resin-Pro-Touring-20-Steel-Wheels-with-Staggered-Offset-/321639047951?nav=SEARCH -

Man that looks good! Perfect stance. How did you swap the 55 f100 suspension on the frame if you don't mind me asking? Got any pics? -
No, sorry Mike. Just the light blue one.

I picked mine up at the local Ford dealer. They have another in the case if youre interested.

This is an awesome build! Love it love it love it!

Dude that's a good looking F100. The wheels are super nice. -
It's made by a company called 1st Gear. The bed does look like it will fit the AMT kit very well. I put them side by side & front to back yesterday, and they line up really well.

No, Jeff I haven't yet. It looks pretty close to scale by eyeballing it though. I was thinking that it would be great to get this casted!

Hey everyone! I picked up this 1:25th scale F100 last week & thought I'd share it with you guys. Pretty nice for a diecast, the bed is correct, which is the best part! It has a 302 that is wired, kinda light on detail, but none the less, a good find for $30. Enjoy!
