thatz4u Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Started out as a Moebius 71 F-100 long bed, as the build progressed I found the usual warped hood, also warped tailgate, & frame...this must have been a very early issue of the kit. So I worked with what I had...& came up with what you see. I scratch build duel exhaust, added Ford SOHC motor, traction bars, Molotow chrome wheels, & 69 grille.....since it had Silver wheels, black masked headlights, I named it ......the Blown Ranger...

espo Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I like the way you aged the paint. With all the body and frame issues you were faced with it turned out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Man! This is great!!! It reminds me of what folks would do to a truck back home when I was a kid. A brown paper grocery bag in the front seat with a some groceries sticking out of the bag would add quite a bit of humor to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim N Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 You made lemonade out of lemons. Great job! The engine looks great and so does the wear and tear on the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
