Bigfoot 50th aniversary build

[Mattilacken]

So I had little to do at work so i needed some thing to keep me ocupied, which led me to bring a un started kit and do the basic clean upp. I ended up with a Bigfoot since it have been floating in my head for years and i just got hold of a second kit with decals for a good price so then i could do some thing else out of this one. I found out that they have their 50'th aniversary this year and i just liked how that body looked so here goes, my Bigfoot ‘50th anniversary edition where they have the late '70s ford F350 body style on the newer stadium trucks. 

So far I have taken the body from the older Bigfoot, which I presume is the same found in the Firestone kit, please correct me if I am wrong. I have removed firewall, inner fenders and rear cab wall as well as I glued the hood to the body. Seems to fit ok. I have also tried to weighten the tires. I also made a set of headers to look more like the modern headers.

O and yes.. I know its a ford.. but its one of the best looking fords, and not much is ford to be honest
