Man this thing just keeps getting better and better. I need to come back down for some more VACOR runs to see this thing in action.

The tires are small and based on an all-terrain on- and off-road tire so I don't expect much crawling performance out of them. They aren't too hard though so they have some nice grip. You won't win any competitions with them, unless your competition is running the same tires. I haven't driven with them in the mud but I don't imagine they will work very well. My BFG's didn't do well in the mud. This truck could use a taller tire for looks. That is due to Proline's interpretation of the wheel well cutouts. I am going to try some Mud Thrashers to see how it looks but I think I will come back to these. I'm happy with the Dirt Grabbers and they look perfect on the wagon wheels. | |

There is a lot of cool stuff going on in this one. My first thought was "you have to get rid of those bent links", and then you go and just start from scratch with the whole chassis and everything. It looks pretty close to a real Ford setup too. It needs some kind of coat of rusty dusty brown on all the chassis and suspension parts and it would be perfect. Paint it all at the same time don't disassemble it. The body is really fabulous. I've seen countless old Fords just like it on the roads around here. Adding a little "rot" by grinding from the backside, that is a good idea. And you found the perfect driver for it too (I've seen countless drivers like that around here as well...) |

I still have some weathering to do on the wheels and I have to get it out more. The chassis will rust on its own, given a chance. Quote:

Monty was out playing in the mud instead of getting some field work done. Getting around the stuck Chevy. Monty looks angry. Last edited by mototodo; 01-27-2018 at 01:06 PM. Reason: Updated image host |
