A pair of Moebius bumpside 4x4s

[Matt T.]

Been chipping away at these forever. Hopefully posting will help me wrap them up.

High boy is the ‘70 4x4 kit with the Fireball F-250 conversion set and Scenes Unlimited tires. Planning to paint it Tamiya Pure Red (‘70 Ford Candyapple).

The ‘67 4x4 was raised up 3 scale inches from OOB, for a more OEM look. Wheels are Fireball’s Bronco 7” in Scenes Unlimited lugger tires (still need to add the locking front hubs). Olson Brothers toolbox and step bumper will complete the look. This one will be Duplicolor Med. Maui Blue (‘67 Ford Brittany Blue).

Nice! Is This an old one because Joseph is saying he is going to bring those back? 

[Saltie Olds]

Those are Awesome. Can’t wait until they’re done. Bet they’re going to be one awesome pair together.

[Mike C.]

Any more detailed pics? I wouldn't mind seeing what's involved with this kit.

[Modlbldr]

I'm liking these! Can't wait to see where you go with these.

Good looking pair

Very nice, those tires look period correct on those two.

Thanks fellas!

@Mike C. I'll take some photos for you when I tear down this mockup for paint.

Below are the two images I have from earlier in the build. The only parts on the frame that are Moebius are the frame rails and engine block (!). This is a seriously nice trans kit with resin and 3D printed parts. Very well engineered too, with clear instructions on all of the needed modifications. (When I bought this when it first came out years ago, there was an option to include a second set of parts for the proper engine mounts, transmission, crossmembers, etc. I bought that set.)

Thanks Matt. That kit is a little more involved than I thought. Does it also give you that crossmember that is all the way up front?

Nice! I'll be watching this build.

Excellent work!  Great choice on using the Fireball and Scenes Unlimited pieces, they really compliment the bumpside trucks dramatically.

any progress on this? I am planning a build of a '67 F-100 Mobius, a tribute to my first car

Nice vintage photo. The styling on Ford pickups was way ahead of its time for '67, no wonder the '73-'79's were not drastically changed from this successful series.
