Thanks I want maybe one or 2 more. But the Leal specific kits are expensive most cases But I think I can get by with just modify the Belv kit or just wait until another run of the SS car maybe under a different driver / team The Revell Hemi fits in the car like a glove So,, with some tires and aftermath decals. I think Im good Its not like I dont have other kits to build anyway

Imo. The engine in that kit is undersized compared to the actual car. They were a tight fit

Thanks This kit build was all my idea anyway, he doesn't even know about it ,,,,yet As for exact correct trans - transfer case, owner will not care. I'll just add a floor shifter, and he will be ecstatic with it on his office desk We have probably close to another 4- 6 months' worth of work before its done . So I have time BUT,,, We have to paint the tail gate next week or so. So plan is get the kit / parts requiring same color on hand before then . I'll drop some in the airbrush and paint it all same day

I think cheapest / easiest way for me is this kit, and just come up with the 4wd and small hubcap pieces Just heard back from owner

Update BFG tires but the RWL is turned in I will not go so far as to get the dead nuts correct tires so some kind of stock kit tires will be fine The truck. With tires - wheels mounted The truck is slightly lifted so I will alter kits suspension anyway In this pic it still needs cut and buffed before any trim goes back on Lifelong southern AZ truck Been in this man's family since late 70s . His dad bought it off original owner he thinks around 1978 or 79

This is pretty much the look it will have . these same wheels and hubcaps just has BFG all terrain RWL tires that are already painted and mounted

The trim thats going on the truck. Its been repaired and polished so I need to paint in the depressed areas a low gloss black thinner is upper body line trim wide is lower rocker trim I dont think the truck is an XLT , To be honest Im not 100% sure what trim level it is I do know the tail gate has an anodized trim panel on it . Dash cluster bezel does not have the woodgrain on it like some I see

Thanks, Looks like short bed to me so thats a plus BUT , I see the lower trim is missing behind the rear wheel opening like the 1/1 truck Im working on has

This is basically owners ultimate goal ( wrong color obviously) and no camper cap Stock light blue. short bed with white wheels and small beenie hubcaps

Is this kit a short or long bed truck ?

So there is a 1972 Shortbed truck made ? if thats the case it would save me buying the two 1970 Kits above then buying a seperate or 3d printed grill

Following

You have my interest These old SS cars are my primary interest ( even though this is not an 'OLD ' SS car)

Thanks for the pics I know who owns the Butterscotch 71 RR Ive been to that show many times , even had a car in it years ago . My current car received an award in class there maybe 10-12 years ago

Be curious to know who is making the decals for this car

The car ran both ways

Thanks all. Looks like I can combine these 2 and get exactly what I need

Ok. I won that one Now see if i can cone with another one Or even just rear slicks would do in a pinch

This might work, If I can come up with the 4wd stuff I can add a 3d printed 1972 grill easy enough Provided the upper and lower trim is on the body in this particular kit

Is the 70 F100 an actual 1/2 ton 4wd? Box art shows 3/4 ton 8 lug wheels No it will be stock white steel wheels and beenie style hubcaps Rims on it are simply to make it roll while under construction Truck is 360 4spd

Is the side trim molded in the body on the upper trim level kits or separate glue on pieces ? I could maybe get by with the short bed kit and add my own trim and buy a 3d printed 72 Grill But its the 1/2 ton 4wd stuff that is an issue I would really like to make this build just like the actual truck , If at all possible

This is 4wd , but its an F250 and I think , Long bed truck

This kit has the correct trim style I need But its long bed 2wd

Im currently restoring a real deal 1972 Ford F100 Ranger pickup for a local guy 4wd short bed truck And would like to build a model replica for his desk I see there is a 1972 Kit avail, BUT it long bed 2wd I see there is a short 4wd kit,,,but its an F250 what are my options Are any of the kits a short bed ? Any of them half ton 4wd , or Any aftermkt people making the half ton 4wd pieces ?

Very Nice. Im on a vintage SS kick at the moment so odds are this one will come close to front of the line pretty easily
