Moebius 1971 Ford Ranger Pick-up

Post by Jeeves »

Was excited to see this one come out as my grandfather had one when I was growing up...really loved that old beast and tooling around with him on various "work" projects he took me on...

Nearly to the point of putting everything together! Still need to think of what's going in the bed circa 1971...lawn mower or go-cart would be cool...

Mike, I think I remember having had just this car, same colours on box et all, back then when I still did build car kits, too. Don´t know if it was from AMT, Ertl, or whatever.

That´s agreat looking truck! You did choose some nice colours! Do I see a carpet there in the cab?

Looking good, Mike.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Man, that truck brought back memories back in the 70s. The kit looks pretty cool too!

Thanks again all!

One needs a bit of reading material while puttering around in one's truck, n'est-ce pas?
