leafsprings2 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 (edited) Moebius '66 F 100 Custom Cab Flareside painted factory colors, Holley Green with lighter green color coordinated interior. The cab side moldings were sanded off. Edited March 30 by leafsprings2 13
TarheelRick Posted March 30 Posted March 30 A real workhorse. That six-pack has plenty of pulling power, and the overall basic truck look just makes it all the better. Really like this build. 1
'70 Grande Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) Excellent build! Colors and your execution are spot-on! I just getting started on my version of this kit and the molded-in side trim bothers me... am curious how much time and effort it took you to remove and clean it all up?

Thankyou, first taped around moldings, used file to bring surface down, then used sandpaper to level with body 320 to 1500 grit. Cab corners are a little tricky to level out. Takes about an 1hr each side. Flaresides in this era never came with moldings, was disappointed to see them on this particular kit.
STU111 Posted April 1 Posted April 1 That is a really nicely built flareside. I like how you have removed the side trim, as a base level truck with a 6 cylinder probably wouldn’t have had any. I have this one in the stash and will build it similar to yours. Top notch.👍🏻 1
happy grumpy Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Good old factory stock workhorse when a pick up was a pick up not a luxury item we get nowadays. I like the white bumpers. 1

I like the white bumpers. Thanks, the "Custom Cab" option from the factory actually includes a white front bumper and argent silver hubcaps. Chrome front bumpers and chrome hubcaps were always extra cost items along with the rear bumper. The inspiration photo from Ford literature. Edited April 12 by leafsprings2
