ferrarijoe Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Starting work on menu F-350. Going to do some small mods to it. I am adding set of wheels Jim at micronitro machined for me with Scenes Unlimited Trxus 46" tires. These tires are a real Nast cast. Also some B-N-L batts and winch. Going to make some bumpers a grill and air suspension for it. Going to try for a Kelderman type of lift. Should scale out to about 24 inches of lift. Want wheels and tires completely clear of body.
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 That's gonna be a beast. I'll be watching.
muddragger92 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Hey tht looks amazing but I gota ask where did you get the rims from those things are killer?
ferrarijoe Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Hey tht looks amazing but I gota ask where did you get the rims from those things are killer? had Jim at micronitro.net machine them for me. Found some fuel off-road wheels I like then sent him a pic of them and he made them. The bead lock I saw on some drag wheels so asked him to throw them on.
ferrarijoe Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 So got the grill mocked up. Removed cross bars and chrome plating from kit grill. Then I took card stock made a template and used model Car Garage tuner series diamond mesh. Going for a RBP look.
ferrarijoe Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 So I started making rear bumper while I wait on some rod ends for lift. I always forget something. I have no idea what I am doing only scratch building I've done is a few parts on my GT. I just started putting styrene in a rough shape and will sand to final shape. Hopefully I can finish it up tomorrow.
vincen47 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Very cool. Love the custom grill and wheels.
Davewilly Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 looks pretty cool so far. cant wait to see some more.

disabled modeler Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Man the sidewall looks just like them...LOL... your project is going to be wild.
ferrarijoe Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Decided to make an off-road roof rack. I drew up one in auto-cad then printed it out. Than used thumb tacks to hold styrene in place.
ferrarijoe Posted September 9, 2015 Author Posted September 9, 2015 Almost done with rack. Needs its 7" led lights, have to get them printed first.

I use Rustoleum Black Texture paint. You can get it at Walmart. Perfect for bedliners and other exterior parts where you want a textured finish. David
ferrarijoe Posted September 9, 2015 Author Posted September 9, 2015 Want to texture bumpers roof rack and bed.
kilrathy10 Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 DUDE !!! You ain't playing around.....This is a serious looking truck, already.....There are some boys down here in Houston that would love this model......That roof rack is awesome....
