landman Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 The friend who bought my Mustang had restored a 1965 Mercury pickup to look like the one his grandfather once owned. I have decided to replicate it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hct728(Bob) Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Neat project! Love the look of the truck, you should do a before and after - I'm starting two myself, using both versions of the Mercury conversion kit with both a long and short wheelbase truck. just got finished making the wheels steer and rotate. Using the 4x4 parts on the short wheelbase flareside 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Interesting how you slap some seemingly unrelated parts together and they start looking like something else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hct728(Bob) Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Nice work on the engine and chassis! I like the labels, neat little details add a lot to realism 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Preassembled whaterver I could in preparation for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hct728(Bob) Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Interesting how the 1:1 is a flashy two-tone yet lacks the chrome trim. I've been thinking of removing the trim on one of mine, most likely the Flareside, though it's a bit of work> Then there's the interior, trim changes might be welcome, I did a radio delete dash once, again a bit of work. Nice how yours is coming together so fast, keep up the good work! Edited February 10, 2022 by hct728(Bob) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Threw some paint at it. Of course there was some crazing.A second coat to the door panel seems to have helped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Working on the engine compartment and the interior. I am, debating whether to brush the white or mask evrything again and shoot it. Of course, I would shoot the hood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Cutting a corner. My friend's truck has the 300. There is a 240 (practically identical) in the 1966 Moebius, however there is none available anywhere near here and since I am building it for myself, it will have the 352, even if it is the wrong color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 So I masked and painted the white. True to form, the masking tape reacted with the Tamyia red. Have I told you guys, I hate painting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
