leafsprings Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Very impressive work! Great choice to convert to a 4x4. When I redo my frame, I will incorporate your upgrades. 1
dino246gt Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 Got the stance set where I want it, or actually where it had to be to make everything fit, just a mock up to see how it'll look:
Biggu Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 This is really cool, the paint on the rims and hubs is spot on !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1
rkeel Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Outstanding work! You're making me want to get another 60 to build like that as a companion to my jacked up 4x4 Flareside! 1
dino246gt Posted July 18, 2020 Author Posted July 18, 2020 So I used a Mobius block, but switched the transmission and oil pan to the proper parts from Fireball, then added heads, intake and valve covers from AMT's '60 Starliner. Those old pickups had a single exhaust with a front crossover so I had to make that, and I used a clear red sprue, plus some styrene scraps cut into flange shapes and some tiny plastic railroad nuts and bolts, so here that is so far, of course much finishing is still required but it's starting to look like a vintage truck engine: (I know that it's not really accurate, but I'm happy with it)
leafsprings Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 Engine looks great. The colors are correct for '59 thru '64, black block with reddish orangey valve covers. Granny speed behind a 292 in 4 low will plow up any hill. 1
dino246gt Posted August 25, 2020 Author Posted August 25, 2020 Still working on this thing, getting there, lotsa wiring!!!
dino246gt Posted September 3, 2020 Author Posted September 3, 2020 Just about finished this one, did some weathering on the chassis, which I've never done before!
Jordan White Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Amazing! You've grown 20 feet tall and picked up a real truck! ? 1
leafsprings Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Super impressive detailing! You went above and beyond of what this kit was originally. I appreciate all the extra engine, drive train and body work that went into this one. 1
NOBLNG Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Really nice detailing on this one. It looks very realistic! 1
dino246gt Posted September 5, 2020 Author Posted September 5, 2020 Here's the top side, so far, almost there!
larman Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Tremendous job on this! Really great model! 1
