53 Ford 4x4

[Crazed]

Old "Diamond in the rough kit that was half built, decided to do a 4x4 conversion after I saw some wheels from Scenes Unlimited.

 

[Crazed]

Picked up a AMT "Super Stones" kit to use for parts, put the front axle onto the 53 leafs, and used the lift springs and rear axle from the stones kit as well..

[Crazed]

Decided to use the 460 from the stones as well, decided to make the transfer case a mated one instead of divorced, ended up removing all the crossmembers and making my own.

This is my kind of truck!! Great subject and great work!!

Nice job!

would never have thought to use the rear leafs and the axles from the super stones kit.

Nice start, should be a good looking model when done.

Haven't had much time, got just a little done.

Well done, this looks really good the 4x4 works well on this kit

Worked on it a little started making an exhaust, then started looking at the half done 15+ year old paint and decided to freshen it up. First paint I have done in many years, the Tamiya rattle cans seem to flow pretty well. Laid on some white primer on the whole thing, sanded mold lines and stuff out, then re primed and put on a little red.

Been really busy but I got a little done, started to wire the motor, Had to do the correct firing order.. Then started on the front shock mounts, used some channel Evergreen.. Needed to notch the inner fenders after that..Kinda seems meant to be..now chopping up the exhaust from a couple "Firestones" kits to make dual exhaust..
