Nice I think the only one I may have finished is my 349H tractor if that I'm not sure but nice rigs so far I do have one ALMOST done which is Cali. Hauler for I just need to find some time with some light...

looks good though could use the tire tread sanded would look even much better.

Gary Wallace is what GW stands for

There used to be a company location up in Marietta Oh where I used to live (Now last I heard its an IH workshop/Dealership) that used to run pete square noses with 60'' bunks I think the name used to be WETZ (I think they used to haul bulk stuff?) or something?... they were a nice blue with some fancy gold striping up the side... Even had a couple matching junk kw's

I checked it out and you are correct its a 72 via I forgot about that particular kit

I thought that stepside kit was a '68 model year and not a '72?

Awesome dash! looks like you hit it with gold foil and painted a couple different colors starting with a black then to a dark brown?

You don't have to lengthen the frame right there... You could have lengthened it under the cab/sleeper somewhere to where it wont be visible when you pop that hood?... and move the cab/sleeper back slightly without having to extend the front to clear that gw hood if you need anymore info get ahold of Tim A. the Pete Guru around here...

That's cool I may have to snag a few up... I have one of the older versions myself and didn't know about the decal issue... but will fix that with new ones soon via the old ones are destroyed in a flood...

I don't have pics yet but can get some later unless someone else wants to post? ie the Pete Guru... But an easy mod for the beginner is taking the hood off any of the 359 kits and sanding the rivet detail and removing the forward fender mounting bracket and maybe one other thing to take it from a steel hood to a fiberglass unit... can also take a snapper kit and an extra frame to lengthen the frame while retaining only two cuts instead of the usual 4...(May do that later to show clarification for not sure if you folks understand what I was saying anyways on that note...) Not sure what else can be done other than swap engines but that gets tricky with a couple parts (Note my Cat swap into a SBA 377 kit build I'm doing) Can also swap out tires and wheels from the snapper to a set of Mobius ones... (Note if anyone has extra snap tires that's good pm me please) Not sure what else other than the usual merc bunk on the cali hauler for petes is mostly what I build minus the one WS and maybe a Kw or Diamond reo kit...

Nice work so far... I may have to snag one and figure out how to convert it to a Coronet instead...

There was a CANCER AWARNESS BUILD going on at youtube... I had an entry called THE CRANKY SPECIAL and posted wip pics in the model car section... didn't finish it yet for I'm waiting on PINK...

There FIXED!!!

I just noticed it to... cant seem to figure out how to correct it....

This is the Official "Post your 29' ford model" thread Rules: as long as you used a 29' ford kit it doesn't matter what you kit bashed it with...POST EM'! Unfortunately I haven't even gotten my hands on one to build...

great work... wish I could have scooped up a few of those blazer kits when they were issued but missed em' you can still find em at a pretty penny though

Awsome work! Is that all paint or bmf?

nice so far... You using one of eric jones conversion hoods or if not whoms?

Any update?

That's Beautiful! ... I always wanted to learn but due to financial stress right now have no money to afford a good Gibson like I would love to have!

Got a old Monogram Ferrari 512 TR kit that was complete for 4 dollars at a local flea market... just missing instructions is all

Frame painted: Parts came out of the strip tank and just being washed off now: Body primed and need a bit of body work on the front fender areas and hood and rear of bed... then onto paint:

Update: Got the corners on the bed cut and clearenced for the bumper may still need a bit more work to make it more correct Got the taillights mod'd out of the piece that i cut off the back and getting ready to graft them into the bed sides still need to do some body work on the trim to fix it Thanks for looking

Sorry I forgot that some country's cant watch A/T...

Update: Started by wiping brown on the body in areas with a paper towel... For im trying to create an AGED look to it... Then shot some mist coats of black on top but didnt like that so shot another coat and it looks better... Now trying to figure out actual color coat
