Here is my latest build.
"Its not for sale I'm going to fix it up someday "

That looks awesome! So realistic. Did you leave off the carburetor and air filter off so the engine will seize up?

That's amazingly realistic. Did you build it "new" first, and then age it? I love the rust hole and flat tires!

I left a couple of parts off to throw around it, if I build a diorama.

I just ordered one.

No I started from the unassembled kit. It's easier to weather that way. There are plenty of YouTube videos on weathering models.

I just got word the Joseph at Fireball Model Works will have a '66 U-13 Roadster conversion kit available soon, including the 170 6 cylinder, door inserts, new windshield frame, side view mirror and seats.

Found a guy on YouTube who did that kit

 

[KCSPONY]

For those that don't know they have a dedicated 1/2 cab model out

Also an update on the '66 U-13 upgrade kit from Fireball Model Works. I have been working with Joseph on getting the details correct.....he is a perfectionist and expert at duplicating fine details.
Anyway, the list of parts in the upcoming kit keeps expanding

170ci Six-Cylinder engine, not sure if this will include the radiator and air cleaner, but I bet it will
1/2 door inserts
'66 seats front and rear
windshield frame with vacuum motors
'66 only side mirror
'66 transfer case shifter
'66 dash (may be used for '66-68)
'66 grill with eyebrows
'66 locking hubs and wheels, possibly the '66 only hub caps as well
Dana 30 front axle
'66 Bumpers

other possible parts:
single reservoir master cylinder
'66-'67 early tailgate

I will see if he will allow me to post some pictures of what he is working on.

Joseph from Fireball gave me permission to share these sneak peek photos of what is coming, check out the level of detail!

For a '66-67 it wouldn't have side marker lights, but otherwise seems reasonable.

yeah, you have to remove the marker lights, also the chrome if doing a '66

 

[KCSPONY]

another update, Joseph has been working on the Dana 30 front end, might offer two versions, straight and turned.

 

[KCSPONY]

more parts!

This time it is from VCG Resins by Reese, I was able to talk him into making the '67-'72 transfer case shifter and the power brake bell-crank bracket, booster and master cylinder
