Wow Steve, looks awesome~ I like the red air intake.. its like a warning not to stand too close, or get sucked in :lol:

Need to clear the body and assemble the loose parts.. Then it hits the track~
Never did my own decals before..turns out it's pretty easy to do. I just grabbed
pictures and / or made my own text in Paint, then sized and moved them around
in PowerPoint. Printed with a ink-jet printer, and sealed the end result with
Testors decal bonder. I had no runs or rips.. I read several bad reviews of Testors
paper but I'm happy with my end results.

Yes sir, mighty fine.

It's like a Purple People Eaters club going on in here. I need to repaint my Ford!

[Gameover]

And here I thought I'd be the only purple lol


Ps next run of these I think I'll just build it and keep. Wow we have a lot of great builders here!! Way out of my league! I just hope I can out run them, it's my only chance lol

I guess so. That 300-6 is one of my favorite engines, you would think I would think of that. I have a '79 long bed pickup parked by the barn with the smoothest 300 I ever saw in it. One of these days, I'll fix it up legal and have some fun with it. If I can't get satisfaction from this idea, that will be my next step. Thanks for the idea!

Being a fan of the 300 (have had many a mid '70 F-series truck) - that was the first thing that popped into my mind. :D
For what it is worth - there is nothing quite like the sound of short shifting into third (with a 4-speed) at low speed and lightly lugging a 300 when it is breathing through 2.5" exhaust routed through a single 50 series Flowmaster topped off with a 3" tail pipe...
Has a DEEP but airy sound that - would always bring a smile to my face! :D
(should have tried to make a recording of that before I sold that truck!)

[Gameover]

Ah the 300 straight 6. I've had two trucks with that engine! My first truck a 1982 f150 2wd rust bucket. Dang engine wouldn't die. My latest a 1995 f150 that I sold to my dad it has over 200k on it and will far outrun the body :)

That orange 'Cuda looks awesome~!

I did a 'motor' in mine but it's only a styrene mock up in case anyone takes a flashlight and tries to see what's under the air cleaner
that sticks out of my hood LOL..

Here's my finished Ford~
