o-man Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Been working on this for past few months for another forum's best of the decade build off. Used this kit,Like others have said, everything isn't perfect with this kit. The firewall doesn't let hood sit flat. Speaking of hood, mine was somewhat warped. Maybe I put oil pan on backwards, bot pin in chassis didn't line up with hole in oil pan.Other frustrations didn't come from kit, but came from me! If I could lose a part, I did. Misplaced door panels so I ordered new from Moebius. Right before I took these pictures, I found them. One of headlight lens walked off grill, plus I misplaced upper radiator hose while taking pictures!Painted truck with grey primer followed by several coats of Duplicolor Wimbledon White, followed by a few coats of Krylon clear. Didn't want an overly shiny finish; wanted it look like an older re-spray.Enough rambling, on with the pictures,
o-man Posted October 1, 2016 Author Posted October 1, 2016 More,As always, thanks for looking. Suggestions and comments welcomed
espo Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Like the look of the basic good old work truck. Very clean build.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 I like it, I hope you enjoyed building it despite the troubles.
ShaunCN Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Very nice truck, I'm working on the 72 version and was planning on doing a step side conversion as well, do you have any photos showing how you mounted the bed to the frame? Thanks
leafsprings Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Nice to see the "clean condition" build for this series truck, versus the "rusty beater".
gatorincebu Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Looks good ! I think you achieved your goal. A truck that has been repainted . Be Well Gator
Againmikewins Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 Looks great! What kit is this bed from?
o-man Posted November 25, 2016 Author Posted November 25, 2016 Looks great! What kit is this bed from?I believe it is from the AMT 53 F100
