(Un)Fortunately I haven't done anything on the F100 other than gather parts.

I might as well stick with it as I've been wanting to do one for a while.

Thanks for setting the end date for the end of January. It'll give me plenty of time to do it like I want to. I have grand visions, but most of the time I get bored with the project and back in the box it goes.

The 58 ambulance sounds cool. I was thinking that you might Google 58 Pontiac ambulance for pics as the Chevrolet and Pontiacs shared much in the way of innerbody structure.

Nice looking Starliner, where old meets new... I like it.

What is there something about this car that screams blue.... This is the fifth build of this kit I have seen in a week or two and all but one has been blue, and even that one was blue at one time.

Let's see if I can get it to work.

I don't know, works for me so you must be doing something wrong.

are you using the insert image button? Are the tags scripted correctly?

wow a 37 ford Kustom. Wow nice odd choice. I know awbecrazy posted up some of them in the link but you can count the 37 customs. Well worked on me truck today. Got my rear hydrolics done just need to make the trailing arems for front and rear and then clean it up and paint. The front will be able to almost drop on the ground with maybe 1.5 mm space left and the rear will also lay frame with 2 mm space left. As for me grill. Crapn sent me the custom grill from amt 53 ford. Well shortened it and tried to put it in my custom grill shell. Well didnt fit. To wide. Now cant use it . Well then realized that i have the custom bumpers and grills parts pack from amt. Took one of the grill and now gona change the front allittle more and put that grill in. Was thinking bout chopping the top but if a can find a sun visor thats would be fine. Well thats all for now. gona post pics up later for the hydrolics. Gona have to make a tank for the bed too. Well any more updates from you guys? Cars are looking gooooooood. Kustom is the 37 chopped? Looks like it. I like it. Want to see more.

[kustom]

well its not chopped in the way of lowering the roof. ford never made a three window 37( i think the last three window was made in 35 maybe). but i really have never seen a chopped 37 i ever really like some thing always looked strange, so why not make it a three window. so yes its chopped but not that kind of chop.

All I have to do is let a few things dry up and I can wire this bad-boy.
