Evil72gto Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Started work on the new Moebius/Modelking 1969 F100 the day it hit the store. I am kit bashing it with the 2006 Mustang GT H kit from revell. I am using the motor , trans & seats from the Mustang kit as well as part of the door panels. The door panels are other wise scratch built using evergreen sheet stock. It has some Corvette parts from a revell kit as well but only 5. At the moment I am using the upper & lower control arm's from the C5 R kit (this setup may change) & the master cylinder from another corvette kit. I have modified the frame & the suspension to add airbags front & rear. It sites on the frame!!! It has a custom Ford 9 inch out back. Rear roll pan made from evergreen stock. It will have a 4 link in the rear that will be made from evergreen rod. The bridge is made from evergreen stock as well. I cut the gas tank out of the cab & filled the hole with evergreen sheet stock. I have shaved the fire wall & cut a hole for the radiator to mount in. The front bumper will be left off & I filled in the holes for the front bumper with evergreen. Any questions about the build just ask. Edited September 8, 2015 by Evil72gto more photos
Evil72gto Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Finished shaving the fire wall. Edited September 10, 2015 by Evil72gto
Evil72gto Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 Made new upper & lower control arm's. & made the air tank & mount for the air tank & compressors.
bismarck Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Wow!! That's gonna have a real worm digger front bumper!! Love it.
bobthehobbyguy Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Great start. Nice work. Looking forward to seeing more.
Evil72gto Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 I scratch built the door panels & used parts of the mustang door panels. I also removed the gas tank from behind the seat. & cut the headrest off the mustang seats & added seat belt hardware & controls for the seats. More updates to come.
gatorincebu Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Lots of craftsmanship being displayed here, along with some serious creativity and imagination! Be Well Gator
Evil72gto Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 I was not happy with the wheel spindles from the corvette kit I was using!! So I am now using the front spindles from the Revell 41 Willys kit that I am modifying to look more realistic than what they supply in the kit. I will make extensions where the ball joints would be so I can get it to the ride hight I want. The wheel spindle on the right is the stock kit part & the left 1 is shaved down to the profile I want.
Evil72gto Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 New upper and lower control arm's for the drivers side.
Evil72gto Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks to all who have looked & commented! More to come very soon.
Mopeyguy Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Awsum build... Looking forward to seeing the engine adapted in...
exesivefire Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Way too cool! I want to cut one of these up bad
72 Charger Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Everything looks better when it's that low
1930fordpickup Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Wow this is cool. A little low for my taste but this truck may change that.
66belair Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 This looking great, I like the way the front suspension is being done. I'm getting some ideas for my next F100 build.
