Slotto Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 All great builds start with an idea. Before I get started on a project, I like to mock up something to see if it's doable first. Below are some ideas that have been bouncing around in my head. This one shows off my 3d printed wheels. Feel free to add your comments and show off what's bouncing around in your head...

Jonathan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Good stuff there! Sure wish that S-10 would be (re)released! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 They're all great ideas. Comments : I'm sure you will check the gaps between the cab and the bed on the S-10 - Unless you're going for the big dubs the wheels seem a little large for the Merc. but that's just me. - I like the Ford pick-up and the wheels look perfect, but again that's just the way I like it. - I like the lowered '53 Chevy but again the wheels look to large fro the wheel wells. Those are my comments but I think you have a lot of very good modeling ahead of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crankenstien Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 swap in a 37 ford sedan coupe or convertible running gear into the 40 pickup would get it low the 53 chevy make new mounting points for front suspension and add blocks between springs and rear axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damodelguy az Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 some cool ideas, the real merc was wild, i like the nomads top, i like the ford pickup and 53 chevy stance, ive always liked this chop on this blue one but it real touchy to short looks real bad. good luck with the projects, run forest run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The gull-wing Merc sute looks interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
