kennb Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 A friend of mine made a 1;1 like this a number of years ago...cranted he started with a coupe which would be easier. This one of the glue bombs I got Sunday. Stripped the blue strips and started cutting, KennB
JDGREEN Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Cool concept, should be interesting to see completed
b_lever1 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Looks very cool thought about one of these myself ?????????????? but was going to use 67 68 model.To many things on the go right now for another project
kennb Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 I got a little carried away cutting the seats and had to put some back in. There is still a little jump seat in the back like the 1;1 I also got the floor to the bed finished and just the part by the passenger compartment to cut. From here on in is a straight build from the kit. I do have all the parts which is surprising so I wont have to make anything. Thank you for the comments and looking. Next I will complete the frame and engine.
kennb Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 The bed has been glued into the body and the seats have been cut away....Off to get it in primer. The motor has been taken apart and re glued correctly, seams filed and ready for paint.
TFchronos Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 This will be very interesting, it looks great so far!
kennb Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 have the first primer and engine painted ready fro assembly......
Jantrix Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 This looks like something the aussies would just love. Great work.
Tom Geiger Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Cool build. I saw another one done by a friend who used the roof and bed from the '61 Ranchero.

Pat Minarick Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 That 's cool ,never saw that done before . Great ideal .
brett Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 looks really good though personally I think the bed looks too short. Know and understand why its done that way but thats my thought on it.
kennb Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks for all the comments,,,,,Brett, you are right,,,even the 1;1 had a short bed,,,,more od a grocery getter than anything.
kennb Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 the body is done now,,time to finish the chassis and interior....All the builds I am doing now will be simple since I want to highlight the body mods..
