So, I was looking at this kit in a LHS over the weekend, and was considering picking it up. I saw that the kit has a V8 engine (302 or 351, not sure). Now if I do get the kit, I'm not going to do an engine swap, but it got me to thinking. The standard engine in the 1977 Econoline van is the 4.6L six cylinder (V6, I'm guessing). Does anyone think Coca-Cola would spring for the optional V8 over the V6 in this type of van?

Yup! Definitely. Oh, I know people will say that it's east to modify the AMT Ford C900 cab to this, but I know I don't have the talent/skill to do that. Yes, I also know that The Backyard Shed offered this cab in resin, but I heard mixed reviews about it, and the badging didn't look correct.

That looks really nice. I did a 1941 Chevrolet is a similar color scheme. I like it.

Mock up looks great. This is really coming along nicely.

Fantastic looking mixer. Your weathering & detailing is great.

I don't know much about mixers, but this should be pretty cool.

Very nice. I really like the Model A.

Excellent job. I think it looks great.

Looking really nice. I like the colors.

Looks pretty good. Masking stripes is difficult. This looks like it'd be right at home as a California hay hauler.

Great looking builds for 2019, Tom.

Just might consider the W9000. Already have the Blue Mule decals from JBot.

Eric, that's a nice looking T.

That's a good reference pic, Mike. Those wheels shouldn't be too hard to find as they are in the 1925 Model T kits. Whoever has built the 1925 ad a rod should have the wood wheels as spare. I kind of like the varnished wood wheel look.

No Tommy gun! How can they expect these guys to go bust up a Speak Easy! ?

This might be worth while picking up. Should be interesting. Is there a Tommy gun in the kit?

Looks nice. Did you change the stance at all, or is that how it comes out of the kit?

That really looks great. Nice story to go along with the model, too.

Coming along nicely, Tom. You're going to need to build a dirt bike stand now! ?

Very nice looking FLC.

Great details. Your chassis & engine plumbing are top notch.

Thanks! I thought so, too.

Thanks, Jeff.

Thanks, Christopher.

Thanks, Larry.
