Flatout Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) I can’t believe I’ve been a MCM Forum member for so long and I haven’t done a WIP until now 😳 After seeing all the cool old pickups in the Tim Boyd Tribute Thread it motivated me to build one too. This will be a 1970’s Style Street Rod using the Monogram 29 Ford Roadster Pickup with small block Ford Engine and IRS from the Monogram 55 Ford Panel Truck. The Truspoke Style Wheels and front tires are from the Monogram 32 Ford Roadster. The Rear Tires are from Fireball Model Works. It won’t be quite as detailed as the trucks in the Tim Boyd tread but hopefully still be “Cool”. Thanks for lookin’😎 Edited May 4 by Flatout 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoMoCo66 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Nice! You my friend, now have my attention. I like the small block Ford, keeping the Ford power in the Ford! And the tripower is pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatout Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 (edited) Thanks Guys…appreciate the feedback. The 1st thing I want to do is replace the rear cross member to support the IRS and update the transmission cross member. I need to modify the IRS to get the stance I want and the tires positioned where I want them. Next up is fixing the seam in the bottom of the engine, a little extra glue, a medium grit sanding board, a little primer, and it’s like it was never there. More updates coming soon…Thanks for lookin’😎 Edited May 5 by Flatout 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatout Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Got a little more done this weekend…narrowing the IRS while keeping the halfshafts and strut rods aligned was a bit of a challenge. After a couple of tries here it is. Need to modify the radius arms next….thanks for lookin’😎 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatout Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 IRS Mock up complete…the radius rods that originally were on the IRS were kinda bulky so ditched ‘em and used a set from the from the Revell Model A and the coilover shocks are from the Revell Foose Pickup. Thanks for lookin’😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatout Posted 19 hours ago Author Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) More mocking things up…got a simple set of motor mounts made and positioned. Looks like everything should fit OK. Next up is getting the frame and crossmembers smoothed out and primed. As always…Thanks for lookin’😎 Edited 19 hours ago by Flatout Move text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
