My second build underway

Postby Gameover » Mon Nov 24, 2014 9:42 pm

Well I have one brass chassis under my belt. So what happens next? Build another :). This time I'm building a 1991-1993 f150. I got this body from one of the guys I race with. It will be slammed almost as low as it is in the picture. I'll have to make home made windows for it and a cover for the box. Prolly steal Harry's idea about a playing card interior and get a driver from Dave. The motor will be mounted angle winder style. Not sure what I'll do about the front and rear bumpers.....

Ya there is couple snap tight kits out there. This one was just the body he had laying around. I want to find more. I watched a bronco go for stupid money on ebay. I so wanted it!

It's something different and a cool project.

Maybe some blister-pack clear plastic could make some bumpers?

This is a snap tight model. Just missing all the other stuff. It's 1/32

Oh boy! Not sure I could do that lol. I'd be better off putting this build back on the bench and sending you the body lol

So does anyone cast trucks in 1/32? Would love to add a few more to my fleet!
