Reintroduction and Current Projects

[dodgefever]

I haven't been around for a couple of years, but I'll try to engage more. Here's what I'm on now:

'34 Pickup for the TRaK CBP. Chopped, channelled, shortened bed, Olds power.



'71 F100. This will be a near replica of my Uncle's old truck, which was a '72 Explorer. The 360 blew up and was replaced with a 428. Paint was Grabber Blue with a Wimbledon White top.



I'm not going overboard correcting the kit, but I had to do something about the front suspension. Out of the box it looks like this - axle beams about a scale foot too short and the radius arms incorrectly mounted to the side of the frame:



Corrected version in progress - axle beams extended to mount on frame and radius arms relocated:



'60 Chevy stepside.

Frame was extended and a bed scratchbuilt. Still needs some filling and the stake pockets need work.

Almost done with this one, just needs a few things to finish it.

Welcome back! Looks like you have some ambitious projects going on there. I like the 60 step side. Good job with the extension.

Hey Stu! Truck beds galore - stock, extended and shortened. I like the detail work on the suspension. Is it possible to make these types of setups (in the modeling version I mean) posable? It looks like there's enough meat in the kingpins to do it. And the extended bed passed me by completely until I read the description, even without the detail you'll be adding. Nice work!

Hi Bernard, thanks for your comments.

I think there's enough meat there, but the way it's tooled, the kingpins are too far inboard, so it would look wacky with the wheels turned. I'll start a new thread for the Chevy.
