Default The Big old Ford
Grabed myself one of the ford bodies and then spotted this truck at a gas station. i like this paint design....but with blue.



wish i had some more pics of it going together. but these are what i have of the chassis "Pro Scaler Evolution" long version whitch is 1 1/2 inches longer in the middle of the chassis and makes this ford work at a 14 inch wheelbase.

Nice work, I bet that side trim piece (with the marker lights) was a real pain in the ass to put on, I know the ones on my regular cab 79 F150 were lol.

The worst part was that there is no trim decals on the bottom body line. so i had to use some pinstriping to make it

I'm not a big fan of lexan builds...but given the availability of bodies, I understand. You did a fantastic job on the body and the build is looking really nice!!!

Thanks for the comments guys. All my pics are on my computer and when I try to link them it locks up. Time to upgrade the old beast I guess.
