Chuckyg1 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 This has been around about 10 - 12 years, if not more. I misplaced the frame a number of years back. It was recently found in a box full of parts. My goal is to finish it before year end. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut the bed down with a dremil disk and, sanded everything smooth and glued everything back together. it was relatively easy. On the frame, I took the same amount off of the read portion so that the middle of the frame would not be compromised. the rear of the bed is tilting up a small bit because i have got to figure out a way to remove that small piece under the tailgate and still have the 2 frame rails for the bumper to attach to. now I will have to e-locate the rear suspension to line up with everything.

Mike C. Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 These 1/18 GMP wheels/tires are only slightly bigger than the stock/kit tires but they a a different look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slotto Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) AMT '95 Chevy S-10 with Chezoom wheels and tires. I started this a number of years ago and lost interest. I used plastic tubing for the bed rails. Edited July 25, 2023 by Slotto 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 I don't know how I resisted buing one of these for so long. Like any model, they look great with any Fireball tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Even with all the other projects I have going on, before I get to this build, I started mocking up this roll cage out of some ordinary soldering wire I had laying around. I will have to connect everything with crossbars later. I used the factory supplied rollbar as sort of a template. Edited July 31, 2023 by Mike C.

Mike C. Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 It's nice to have plenty of Fireball off road tires around to mock up various vehicles. This AMT C/10 is no exception. This is the Coke truck (with machine) that you can easily turn into a K/10 using the MPC Deserter GMC pickup kit. These mud kings tires from Fireball always kind of reminded me of the old Monste mudder tires from way back. Back in the day, a lot of the trucks were running these.

iamsuperdan Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Slowly making progress on my Wild Hoss Bronco. Finally sized and printed some wheels that I think work. Roof rack is printed and sitting right. And I've finally figured out the suspension and how to lift this thing a few scale inches to fit those tires. Will also be getting a new engine, seats, bumpers, and a bunch of accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdhog Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Going to make a WIP thread, but here's my attempt at making a 2 wheel drive 72 Blazer so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Here are a few shots of my F-125 (crossbreed between F-100 and F-150). Wanted to get it done in time for the CKM show this coming week-end, but time ran out on me. Still a lot of body work to do, then have to scratchbuild/kit-bash an interior, and finally get the chassis finished, just got the extension done this morning. It will be a little bit taller, but not much, just enough to clear the tires. The 1:1 is the inspiration for this build. I have a bottle of paint that exact color.

Tamiya lacquers - TS-41 Coral Blue for the body Got in a little time at the bench over lunch today - a rarity. Maybe I should make a WIP for this one. I botched the glue when attaching the rack, but I think I can fix that. Ages ago, I picked up a surfboard and rack set from a Japanese manufacturer. I think the roof on the Scout is removable and probably made of fiberglass ... but this seemed as good a model as any to use the surfboard accessories on.

Mike C. Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 Looks nice so far Johnathan. Are those racks still available? They remind me of the old Aloha hard racks I once had on my old 4 door '72 Plymouth valiant. I think they were made by Surfco co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
