Brizio Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 More udate... Painted the wheels. The wheels required a little bit of work, they were off center... On the back I replaced the kit tires with some toller I had. I get it, but I always prefer a firewall without cables... Removed the cabls I used the motor that came with the kit, Not probably correct for 1960, but maye it was swap year later... Engine in place. Jut to fill up the space in hte engine bay, I added battery and a horn. Interior painted and weathered. Still too emplty, so I added few things...
Tom Geiger Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Engine in this kit was the big block from 1966 Chevy annual kit.
Sam I Am Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Love your beater work truck approach. The brown bag lunch on the seat is a nice touch. Let me guess, PB&J ? ?

Believe they would’ve sold a lot of Rancheros if they did a really nice version of the proper Ford six! For sure! Or at leas put a Ford V8... Almost done with the paint job, need to add some more rust, and it should be done. Made some stencil, and painted all the letters. A the end I did a work truck.
