Moebius 70 F100 4x4

First model in 25+ years. A few things bothered me out of the box, namely: the ride height and tires, the wrong transmission, and the wrong trim on the body. This source was invaluable:

The suspension was raised by 1/8", a little less than the difference between stock 4x2 and 4x4.

Part 2. Chassis painted and tires ready to mount. They are the T12 Town&Country tires from Scenes Unlimited. They are oversize but have the nice old school look I like.

Front end is way too high. Back to the knife.

Doesn't look too bad from here, like those tires on those wheels!

I like it. Awesome resource (bookmarked for when I get to my Ford P/U kit).
