It's like that  "days of voo" cause, I swear  I've seen this  build some where before 

Hey Joe,

I just picked this kit up last week at Hobby Lobby. I will definitely be here the entire build to see the amazing job you do with her. I have no doubt this will be another one of your well detailed and built projects. Enjoy, and I can't wait too see what you do.

Hey Joe,

I just picked this kit up last week at Hobby Lobby. I will definitely be here the entire build to see the amazing job you do with her. I have no doubt this will be another one of your well detailed and built projects. Enjoy, and I can't wait too see what you do.

 

 I was at home for two days last week sick. While I wasn't feeling good I thought I would do something that made me feel better, mood wise anyhow.

I started by tackling pretty much the only modification that I'll be undertaking with this project which'll be mini tubbing out back for the larger meats that I'll be throwing under the back and narrowing the rear end. I robbed the tubs from the AMT 65 Nova kit which is now my "go-to" for all Pro Street projects it seems.

I made the necessary cuts in the bed floor and the bed sidewalls. The cuts are a little dicey but they'll be hidden on the topside by a tub and on the bottom by a giant ass tire.



and then made the necessary cuts to the Nova chassis and cut the width of the tubs down to size as well as trim/ clean all the edges of the tubs up.



Here we are test fitted and ready to go. This is about a weeks worth of work normally that I've now got out of the way.



Rear end is narrowed and set further upwards into the chassis in the name of lowering it even more. Had to make a number of mods to get the tire to fit in the fenderwell but I got it done. Here's the way it's going to sit in there:





I've got an order in now for a Texas license plate that reads "DEMON II" and a decal for the rear window and front bumper that'll be clear except for the graphics and will look like so. Sorry Dodge fans.....it was just too dang appropriate!

Waa-Hoo let-er-rip- tortilla chip      

Joe,

I am not surprised on the progress you have already made. I really enjoy your WiP's for the sure fact of all the mod's you make on each one. I keep learning something new every time you build a kit. Can't wait for the next installment!

R.I.P. AMT Nova Kit LOL

Alright Joe, I'm all tuned in for this episode of " Joe turns out another awesome Ford truck". Looks to be one boss of a build. I'm especially looking forward to seeing how your paint job turns out. 

Thanks Steve, Hunter and Joe!

Rear suspension completed. I had to shorten the shocks a lot to match up with the differential reposition up into the chassis as well as relocate the links on the inside of the frame instead of the outside.



This kit is the perfect platform for a Pro Street kind of look. Just look at all the beef from the rear of the truck.



A frontal oncoming view:



and the going away view: I'm VERY happy with the outcome so far.

back on the saddle !

Yezzir!!!!

Oh yeah. You got it going on now Brudder. Total Bad A look to it already.

Ok sir, she is really starting to look like one bad mother already. I can only image how the rest of this build will turn out. Wonderful work so far buddy!!

As stated, I picked up the same truck at Hobby Lobby for $17.20 (40%of cou-pin)LOL and got the other two at a yard sale for $6.00. The old boy saleing them stated his wife was making him clean out his stash, and they MUST go. Felt sorry for the gentleman.

Aw , Mustang 1989 ;

 You blew away the most iconic question in todays lexicon . Well some time back anyway .Looking at your truck from the back , no one can dare ask " Where's The Beef " cause you can clearly see where it is . Darned nice work so far . T.B.

Thanks Joe, Hunter and Tanker Builder.

Hunter: Man whadda score!! I've seen the 68 Firebird built up as a very nice build. The Foose truck, well you know where I stand with that!! That Chevelle is packed with goodies. A big block that's got a very nice tunnel ram set up. The carburetors suck but you can get some nice and crisp replacment Holleys from the aftermarket world. The rear suspension is tops and has got some killer rear tires complete with the white lettering already on 'em. Just can't beat it for either a donor kit or a stand alone build.

Oh the garage is the work in progress over time. The Demon II has the priority right now because of the time limitations of the contest. No worries......I work on it every day.

I've started on the engine build up for this truck and have to say that it's a fairly complete engine with lotsa detail. The only thing I didn't like about it was that stoopid hole in the oil pan for the metal axle to go through. Such a good kit so far too!!! I can't imagine why Revell thought that this was a good idea. Oh well, I filled the holes in and moved on.......................

Progress so far:

Hey !

 Is that gonna fit in there ? If so it's gonna be one B.A. Pickumup !

It all be lookin' good so far. Fine job on patching the oil pan.

Just so you guys and gals know.....................after the garage diorama I'll be back on this one.

OOOOK sounds good

OOOOK sounds good

 

In planning ahead for my next continuation build I just got some wheels in that I ordered a few days ago. I think I'll give these a whirl. And yes these are aluminum and no don't ask how much they cost.

15 x 3's for the front:



and the 15x 10's for the rear:

An update for the week. I've got the radiator and the distributor mostly completed as well but will show those in future updates.

I've got my work cut out for me with this engine. Such a nice platform and it screams for added detail on top of what's already there.

Im glad to see you back in the saddle!!

I'm excited to see you are getting back after this one Joe. I have to agree that this beaut is need of your detailing prowess. You have certainly done a lion's share so far that is already impressive.
