Jared Roach Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Hey guys whats up. I decided to post something for once because I'm usally always busy!! But anyways My build is the amt international scout. I got inspired to build one after I seen that military themed one but my is going to be way different!! Leave comments and critisizum!! ENJOY! Here is the box <img src="http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/bowtiebadboy33/sonoma010-1.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> side panel <img src="http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/bowtiebadboy33/sonoma012.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> This kit I desided to make it custom because there wasn't many parts to it!! I shaved all the trim to clean up the body, It's sitting on 92 mustang suspension, and I think it looks awesome!! I might try to lower the front some more. <img src="http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/bowtiebadboy33/sonoma003-2.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <img src="http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/bowtiebadboy33/sonoma005-1.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <img src="http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/bowtiebadboy33/sonoma008-3.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> it's got a 440 for the 68 charger by revell <img src="http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/bowtiebadboy33/sonoma007-3.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> here are some interior shots, its got 1999 silverado seats and it's got custom made door panels, I still have to add some handals to them. <img src="http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/bowtiebadboy33/sonoma013-1.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <img src="http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/bowtiebadboy33/sonoma014-2.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <img src="http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/bowtiebadboy33/sonoma017-3.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> I had to cut a hole in the floor because I wanted it to sit really low!! <img src="http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/bowtiebadboy33/sonoma018-1.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> Edited April 27, 2010 by bowtiebadboy333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remingtonbox Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Holy ######!!! 7 dollars for that paint!!?? Cool project though! hahahaha... I was thinking the same thing. Anyway about the car, the door panels look wonderful, the only thing I would add is some sort of speaker pod... flesh out the entire door panel some. Cool project... about 6 months there was a Bronco II pro street featured in Truckin'...if you would like some pictures, I would be glad to scan them.

RodneyBad Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Cool looking Project ya got going on. Cool door panels. Like the color choice.. Nice in the weeds stance for an Ole 4x4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modellpularn Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Looks cool! You turned an uncool car into cool just by dropping it on the ground. Kind of makes me want to get one.... How about if you fixed that rear side window? Remove that slant..... I'm not too fond of that "styling" I think it would look much better.

I think it gives the truck a unique look that makes it different. If I remove it I think it looks like a bronco. But thanks for the sugestion!!! never would of thought of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Roach Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hey guys! Been awhile since I got some stuff done on this thing but now I'm going a totally different direcion on this thing. It's now prostreet and has alot of work done, but still alot to go!! First I half cabed it because I seen that bronco and so I wanted to do it like that. I cut open the doors but there not glued on yet so they don't look right. ( the drivers side door was being glued on while I took the pics. I've just started building the tube chassis, This is my first time so tell me what you think. I still have to replace some piceses and still have to build the rest up, but it's a start! And I still have to shorten the rear axle so it will fit in between the frame ralls because of the slicks!! I'm going to build the bed after this so tell me what you think! Rember it's my first time buildin a frame! thanks for lookin and tell me what you think!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Roach Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hey guys!! update!!! Ok I've been workin on it on and off for about a month. First I shortend the rear mustang axle so it would fit the slicks. Than I made my first roll cage and I think it turned out pretty good for my first try. Now I have been workin on the body work for a while now and it's almost ready for paint!!! But I do still have some work to do like build the bed, (which I still haven't done yet) And get the body, door jambs and the half cab finished but there close!! I have a question for you guys what color should I paint it? blue with red roll cage and frame OR testors one coat laqeur inca gold with black accents? Let me know and here are some pics!! Thanks for lookin guys and tell me what you think and what color I should paint it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Winter Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I like it. I voted for the blue, I think all internationals look good in blue especially Scouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belowambient Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 gold with a black cage? other than that i love your project! i have quite a few friends that have internationals, so there is a soft spot i have for them as well... keep it up!!

I somehow leaning towards the gold for some reason my self! I'll see what the poll say though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see what I mean because If it did go gold I would two tone with black on the top, and MAYBE do the cage in gold but I think it would look better in black.

Car Crazy 81 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Jared- I'd voted for inca gold i'd find its different because you dont see too many Scouts in gold and also paint the roll cage gold as well and leave the wheels in chrome thats just my opinion.

Jared Roach Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 ok guys, well I desided to dig this one out again and get some work done on it! I have to get some more styrene because I'm all out of it, but this is as far as I got, going to redo the frame rails and stuff but it is fitting alot better then the way it came outta the box, also got the body work 85% complete, but still needs work I'm also going to redo the hinges, since the doors aren't working very well. Thats it for now guys, when I get more styrene this will be updated and the 81 bronco, thanks for lookin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Roach Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 ok guys, have an update. Not a good one though. I was finishing the body work and te cab broke on one of the pillers. So I fixed that problem..... The roll cage was my first atempt at building one, so it's being redone. Thats going to be the stance when its all finished. Thats it for know guys, thanks for lookin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeeD Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I like the idea. That's going to be way slick when it's done. I've always loved non-mainstream rods, they fuel the imagination! Good job so far...I can't wait to see it done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
