  1. cool 2wd just dont go too low that bugs cant even squeeze under it
  2. was going to say the same as i work in a tire shop and see the vans quite a bit, around here they haul amish people....
  3. cant view em
  4. These are some of my lesser liked builds the ones that dont get to see the light of day anymore they stay in nice warm boxes.
  5. Lifted trucks Forever! or atleast 4x4s at stock ride height. But i got a thing for getting my 1:1 stock trucks muddy. Cant wait for the rest of my county to see the county fair parking lot way back in the back this summer. Me and my friends had a little fun this winter. Then we meet back at the local sheetz where the cops always hang out eating donuts. they never seem to questin 3-6 mud covered trucks.
  6. I hear a fiesta starting. Nice looking build
  7. nice mopar
  8. "and I think this is where that lunatic fringe part comes in. The casual modeler probably won't even recognize the issue. The hard core modeler will just scrounge the AMT Merc motor and stick it in the woody. It is that in between modeler who gets stuck, knows better, but not willing to kit bash." My guess is it won't be long until a resin Mercury motor appropriate for the '50 Woody turns up (and looking surprisingly like the AMT kit motor). I would end up kitbashing if i caught on or just leave it, there have been times ive tryed making engines out of spare parts, like my amc 4.0 turned cummins i recently did.... Im not gonna say im the smartest, most accurate, or best builder, im in it for the fun of experimenting but will do accurate at times to the best my skills allow.
  9. I hated when others used my first f150 as a garbage can, i had a fiberglass bed cover and id open it to find garbage all over the place that wasnt mine. It was my daily Driver/ and daily mudder, sadly ice has a way of ending good things, Hope my current f150 dont become a garbage can cuz it doesnt have a bed cover. Although thanls to the old one i have the mud tires still and a second set of wheels.
  10. Most the time diesels get better mpgs than gas hogs and can be upgraded a lot easier to achieve better mpg
  11. some sweet trucks guys, im hoping to get the amt late 70s ford to replicate my great grandpas truck and to build a blue mudder, seeing how i already replicated my first truck
