Lonestar Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Hi, I'd like to know where you got the after market wheels, tires and leaf springs? Website if possible? Because it's just what this Ford needs! Thanks in advance
Brutalform Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 The wheels and tires are from Scenes Unlimited if I remember correctly. And the springs are from a seller on eBay. This was built before Fireball Modelworks had his stuff to do this conversion. I would contact Joseph at Fireball, and he will have everything to do this conversion CORRECTLY. I had to do a lot of sanding and cutting, to get this to look halfway decent. I plan on building another version of this kit, and I will be buying the parts from Joseph.

Brutalform Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 You’re welcome. Fireball is the way to go. I had to buy the tires and rims, the springs, AND the roof marker lights all separate. Fireball has it all.
89AKurt Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Nice looking kit, and you're doing it justice. Those of us who are fans of the '72 Chevy pickup, are hoping Moebius will produce a new kit. Now I'm curious about the tires you didn't use.

Dave72 Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I have been looking at this kit for a while. Definitely going to get it now. Your build looks great! Lots of great info too!
mrmike Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 I built the '72 Sport Custom pickup and have the '71 Ranger waiting in the stash. Both cabs were warped. I contacted Moebius and the replaced one cab that they thought was the worst of the two, but not both of them. I inserted the front windshield in the cab for the '71 Ranger and the windshield is taking the warp out. I found out from others that the way they packed the boxes produced the warp. Moebius wouldn't say the warpage was their fault. Moebius really needs to use bigger boxes to help prevent any damage.
slusher Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Nice clean worK! What color did you use on the body?
