1977 Ford Ranger "Star Truk"

[Dominik]

Hi again,

another build i finished this week. It was a restauration and i was shocked, as i worked on it. The frame...terrible...wrapped. And sad, that there were parts missing and the decals gone. So, i thought about it, to give this beautiful Pickup another theme.

Take a look to my handymans pickup:

1977 Ford F-350 Ranger XLT

Here you can see the bad frame...

[Dominik]

Thank you again for attention. I like it. I am a littlebit proud of the result. He will find a place on a diorama - parking on the street, so the bad side of it will be not in the view.

Cool just like someone's everyday truck

[MyBradKeselowski]

Great looking truck, I like the added details...

Awesome, nice job..

[bondo bill]

cool work

[RodneyBad]

Great looking build..

I think it is the old style grill that makes is look soo good.

All the extra add-ons really add to it.

Great job!!

[ChrisR]

[Chuck Most]

Another nice model Dominik, but it needs more dirt

[Guest]

That's some nice work Dominik!

The warped chassis actually fits how those older trucks develop as they age. Worked in your favor.

[Austin T]

I love those old Fords.

Nice build man

[Dominik]

Thank you very much for your words buddies!

I like the first issues of the kits - no question. To safe one is always a cool thing.

I had searched the web and saw, that many of them have warped chassis. My thoughts were, to build a frame for it. But...new glue is harder than old one. No chance after my work, to take the bed of...

About more dirt....i think about it! Really.

Thanks again for kind words

A red Ford, what is there to dislike???? Never mind the bent frame!!

Is that a wine bottle on the front seat?

I love that politicaly incorrect detail, I think I'm gonna put a 12 pack of Heineken beer on my '57 Ford model.

My dad used to have anl ol yeller ford that had that same frame problem. Good job on this one man. I would like to get my hands on one of these.

[diggersrule]

good looking build I always like seeing the 73-79 ford being built

[Sixties Sam]

Very nice! The details in the bed and seat really make it look realistic. Nice work!

iv`e seen actual trucks with that bend here in my area, looks like a redneck truck with that frame...lol.Great job and keep it up.

[Dominik]

Oha!

Thank you for comments! Just see it now, think i had started in the wrong section and it was moved correctly.

Thanks again! Yes, it is a bottle of wine on the front seat That reminds me, to finish the diorama for it (*ups*)

Sharp build... one thing I've always wondered about this kit--the box art shows a '73-75 style grille, but the one I have (and the red built up pictured here) has a '76-77 style grille. Did AMT change the grille during the kit run?

[Fat Brian]

Maybe the ramp truck or camper truck has the older grill, my star truck has the 76/77 grill too.
