I couldn’t help myself. I had to get one. Most expensive model I’ve ever bought.

Nice!!!!!

Fun little kit.

that’s nice!!!

Decided to pull this one back out. Got the Lincoln short hood almost done as well as built a Tidweld style cord reel.

That’s exactly why I’m doing one. I wanted it to be different. You hardly ever see one. Also didn’t want to engine swap it

Blower and idler pulleys machined

Thanks guys. Got some pulleys machines last night. Might have to change things a little because of belt clearance issues. Will see after I get the blower pulleys done. Also found a nicer blower in my stash.

Shocks, drag link and pitman arm done. Everything moves when the wheels turn. Now back to the engine.

Small update. Got the tie rod done and added U-bolts to the axle. Just need to figure out the drag link and pitman arm as well as build shocks and the front end will be done. Also realized I will need to cut a hole in the hood so may go with this scoop.

Thanks. The blue stuff is poster tack. It is a must for mockups

Thanks guys. Started workin on the headers and blower set up tonight.

Scratch built front suspension. Here is how it sits.

I do machine them but I would need the engine and they kit pulleys for reference.

What engine do you need them for?

I shaved and sanded all the trim off. It was molded to the body. Our trucks were always base models.

These were in the rack from an old build. Spade, flat shovel, 2 prod rods, post driver and a piece of pipe. All tools of the trade. Also a couple of traffic cones.

Thanks all for the kind words. As soon as this kit arrived I knew I had to clear the bench for it. It was a lot of fun.

Calling this one done. From the old pics that I could find, this represents a truck that was driven by the gas company I work for back in the 60’s. It was painted with same pagoda green that was used back then. This is the second company truck I’ve built and have ideas to do many more from different decades.

Last update before it goes under glass. Pretty much just need to make the door Decals and it I’ll be done.

Been plugging away at it. Interior is done. Should be a few more hours and it will be done. I need to try my hand at making a quality decal for the door still.

Thanks. The wire is called”wire wrapping wire and I got I on amazon. The boots are made from phone wire. The lower panel is something they really dropped the ball on. Also if you want to go farther it needs to be boxed in under the bed to but I was too lazy to do that.

Thanks. It is supposed to be a 352 and it is the engine form the kit with a lot of extra detail.

Got it painted tonight. Ford pagoda green just like the company used on our work trucks back in the day. This was the first time I’ve used water borne paint...not to be confused with acrylic, this is the stuff they use at body shops. I used an activator because I wasn’t going to clear it. I wanted less of a shine since it will be slightly weathered anyway. It turned out pretty good but if I use it again in the future I think I need a water trap for my airbrush.
