Moebius 1967 F350 Ramp Truck

Okay, so if you've seen Issue 217 of MCM, then you've seen this build. But I figured I'd add a few more more pics, and a little more detail.

 

So, because the topic as been beaten to death, yes, I had warped parts. Upon initial opeing, my hood and cab floor were pretty bad, so I reached out to Moebius. Someone named Erik responded in less than 24 hours. He first asked me to go back and double check the kit, make sure all other parts were good, as they had had issues with the ramp parts. The ramp itself was a little warped, but I didn't think it was too bad. Erik then came back, said the replacmeent parts are ion the mail. I had them a couple of weeks later.

Excellent customer service.

 

So I started the build, and I really, really like this kit. 

 

However, when I got to the ramp, the warping was much, much worse than I originally thought. The ramp base, and both sides were terrible. I thought this would end up being scrap. But I figured I need to try. Turns out, with a little CA glue and a lot of off colour language, a severely damaged kit can sometimes turn out pretty good. Is it 100% perfect? No, but it looks great to my eyes.

 

 

 

 

Finished it up in a decent amount of time, and although I see a lot of places I can improve, I really like how this turned out.

I had the same issues with my Ramp bed also, and solved it the same way as you...& it is now a 1970 F-350

Looks like a dog at a fire hydrant

Great job despite the issues. It turned out really good. CA glue saved me quite a few times with rebel kits.
