Slept in, had a fantastic breakfast buffet, went to my closet hobby shop and found the new Ramp Truck and a past kit I missed out on. And then I sit down with my favorite beverage and see your current build video waiting for me. Best Saturday Ever!
I don't know about anyone else hpi. But I appreciate and love watching your builds. Sorry about the hood. I still wish the model companies here would bring the production back here. Take care and God Bless.
Nice build Chris, I agree when you're dealing with the manufacturer, be cool about what you need. You get more bees with honey than you do with vinegar.
Man I have always loved Moebius kits because of the box art, the ridiculous amount of options, the fit and finish, and the full color instruction manuals !!!! Love it
These castings are sooo detailed. I understand, for time, you show the parts pretty fast. Of course we get a better look while you paint, assemble and weather. My question - with such detailed castings, how many coins are in the ash tray? I know, I had too... Diorama idea - sitting in a shop with one rear dully set off for brake check and hood up and valve covers off - "maintaining the ramp rig". Nice build - thanks so much for doing this, your works are much appreciated.
Awesome, Awesome, And Awesome work. I have learned so much watching your videos, You are definitely a person that can inspire a person to enjoy modeling . Thank you so much.
On these Moebius Ford truck kits I always attach the cab interior as I'm assembling the chassis. It makes attaching the cab easier for me and can help if the frame is warped.
Despite the issues that you found Mobius is still in my opinion a very good kit maker and it's really cool that they are going to do whatever they can to make it right hopefully they get the bugs worked out soon
Put a Richie Evans coupe or a Troyer type pinto on the back will transport me back to the Saturday nights of my youth. Great build as always love those type of memories coming back.
I have five different Moebius Ford pick-up kits in my stash. I have been trying to decide on which one to use in a kit-bashing project that will incorporate the old Monogram Garbage Truck / rock band stage kit by Tom Daniels. The extended frame of this ramp truck may be a better donor than the other regular pick-ups. The "tire rack" portion of this kit will also work well for the amps and other equipment for my rock band. Thanks for the high lights.
Great work on building this kit. It looks great. I really appreciate you providing contact information for Moebius, if issues arise. It’s really sad that you had to explain “acting like an adult” when sending an email about issues. Thanks for sharing.
I pre-ordered from model round up and had no plans to build it for awhile. After watching this episode I immediately opened it and discovered that half of my floor pan isn't even molded. I recommend checking them
Great build as always, I just thought of something regarding those heavy duty rims and tires, those would look great on the 1967 Ford F-100 service truck you did the build review on😊😊❤❤👍👍
Great build ! Love the detail that you put into each build. I have bought a few of these kits now. Got mine through Ebay though, they had it for $59.44 shipped, where as model roundup had it for $77.46 shipped. Almost $20 difference. Can put that toward my next model.
Never built a Moebius kit, but this one will probably be the first one. So many ways to make it look sweet!! Chris your version of this kit is awesome!!!
I truly enjoy your videos . Watching ur videos doing the thing you do step up my building skills . I am definitely going buy this ford ramp kit not a ford guy but I do like this build you done thank you sir can’t wait for the next one
Nice work. Thanks for explaining the issues as you found them. The honesty without “trashing” the company is appreciated. Can’t wait to get my hands on this one. Seems like so many customizing and scratch building opportunities. Can’t wait! Thanks again for the content.
Great vid. I can’t say enough how much these vids teach me. I did another version of this particular cab from Mo. not sure the name. But thankfully, I has no warpage issues. By the way, I’ve lost/wrecked/or kit missing parts over the years from both Round 2 and Moebius. They BOTH were very quick to help and to send new parts. Only time I had to pay, it was due to my own fault. But if the kit part was simply missing or short shot, they sent the part for free. Thx for the vid, Chris.
Absolutely love it, Chris! I can't wait to buy a few of these kits. So the real question is when are you gonna show us around your place? We wanna see everything you've built over the years!
Hey man I just want to say thank you for what you do for the hobby, and watching this video I see that you have a bit of trouble with the firewalls on these moebius bumpside fords, they drop right in from the top in the engine bay, instead of trying to install it from inside the cab, I did that too on the first couple of those cabs, but figured out it’s a whole lot easier going in from the engine bay side, hope this helps, build on brother!
I don't remember this kit being that good though I think I built it as a Chev. That one-piece ladder frame is nice, as are the slotted wheels. The twin I-beam front axle is very nice as is the choice of transmissions. I could see a late-model stocker or a sprint car on the deck. Very handsome build!
Nice build sir that’s a cool looking truck it’s another one I will be getting when it comes to Australia might take awhile because I just got my hands on the MPC Chevy car carrier 👍🇦🇺
Looks awesome 👌, you can also put the hood in some hot water and try to straightened it out. I've used this technique and sometimes it helps straightened out warped parts. Just little FYI if uou don't want to contact the manufacturer.
Hey I was expecting I might hear an explanation or a defect regarding how that windshield fitted in there it looked like it was really giving you alotta trouble...kinda reminded me of days as a kid covering windshield glass in glue trying to install em...thanks fer yer builds on UA-cam I'm here strictly for the car&truck builds and been watching yer videos since day one on here keep em coming I love it
*GREAT* work as usual, *Chris* . I have wanted one of these since its announcement; since seeing the prototypes. It is too bad about the warped bonnet; the rest seems to work themselves out (though I have seen examples of severely-warped ramp bedsides and flooring. I certainly hope that Moebius et al. eliminate these unfortunate issues, and that the next run has an updated part number (e.g., a "-2" or an "R" for "revised"). I am surprised that the instructions call for the *FMX* automatic vs. a manual trans. (no comment on the sink marques on the FMX's pan...), as I'm sure that most of the F-350s had a "Creeper" 4-speed. Ne'er-the-less... I like the colour choices you went with (blue is one of me favourite colours). *Thanks* for sharing this build-up!
Beautiful work. Hardest part is - finding this kit in stores. Same goes with correct floor polish liquid. Unless I pay quadruple or more to eBay hucksters.
From the time I first saw this kit I thought it was an interesting subject and I like the way it's building up. Since AMT did their Chevy from this same era with this type of set up as an option - TBH I prefer the duallie rather than the tandem single wheels they have on the back of theirs - when is a Dodge one coming out?
What happened with the plastic between the ramps, it looks like the plastic is rough , in kind of a large half moon across those doors. Was thinking of buying this kit, but it might be smart to wait a bit for the QC updates. Kit looks great, wouldn't know the hood was sunk, looks spread , glad their taking care of people.
AMT just raised the bar with their Budd wheel option for big trucks in the trash truck kit. I wish Moebius gave us accurate 4-hole steelies for this rig. It's disappointing when the wheels on a kit aren't as well represented as the rest of the kit.
Question: I'm just getting back into modeling after a 50 year absence...what are you using to glue with ? I see a tube, a brush with a cap, and a mini turkey baster lookin' thing.
I bought it but I'm afraid to open it and check it. Not because of maybe finding warped parts, but because i would set aside all my other half finished kits to do this one lol
@@urbanurchin5930 I was surprised to see them in there. I have the 70 f-100 4x4 and the 65 or 66 f-100 4x4 too. I converted the 70 to an F-250 highboy though
@@hpiguy I got to it and they responded almost immediately. They said they've been having many problems with warped parts, especially the ramp parts. They informed me that they were aware of some issues and have already ordered replacement non warped parts but they will provide take awhile to be shipped to them. It's understandable and I don't mind waiting. I'm happy with the quick response and the issue being taken care of. I currently have about 12 Moebius kits in my collection and look forward to building them all eventually. I haven't built any of them yet. One day lol. Thanks again for great videos and tips and information on new releases and such. Have a good day
I've heard a lot of praise for Mobius, but I have had trouble with fit and warp in all their kits that I have built (Ford Pickups and Hudson Hornets). Also their instructions are inferior to the more illustrative focused Revell and even AMT.

8mmmmmm lol
i love this build chris i do believe there is a f-250 wrecker is in the works at moebius coming in early 2023 lets hope so
Frame looks perfect for a jimmy flintstone cab over body
Now that there is a fantastic truck and I wonder, Could an F350 wrecker be far behind??, Thanks for another great build presentation!!!.
Yesss I would love a wrecker, Cooters tow truck perhaps ¿?????
Wreckers have been overlooked guy way to long
That is a great kit! 👍👍
That's a great buid. And thank you for INFO for letting people know about the warped parts and how to get the replacement parts.
I don't know about anyone else hpi. But I appreciate and love watching your builds. Sorry about the hood. I still wish the model companies here would bring the production back here. Take care and God Bless.
My dad worked for a towing company and when he would use this monster, I would get on it with him! Wow! Good build and thank you for the memories!
Nice build Chris, I agree when you're dealing with the manufacturer, be cool about what you need.
You get more bees with honey than you do with vinegar.

Great job Chris.Keep it going. 👏
'68 Mustang fastback with Tasca Ford decals would look boss on that. Great build, love the dry brush on the bed! 🚙
Very cool build Chris, I really like this kit, looks like a fun one.
Thank you for sharing this sweet model with us. This is a must have!
You have the best videos.. You have an unboxing...then you show the build and then final review.
Wow this is a must have for me! Hope it hits the store shelves soon
Beautiful build again my man , I love your work and thanks for so much info n ideas
This is a very beautiful build. I like these trucks.
Put a Richie Evans coupe or a Troyer type pinto on the back will transport me back to the Saturday nights of my youth. Great build as always love those type of memories coming back.
Or even a Dr.Dirt Dick Bergeron super modified on it in a girls college parking lot on Monday morning. LMAO a true story!!!

Looks nice, especially with a race car on the back. / Thanks.
When I got a look at the truck on the turn table the tail lights reminded me of a '60 Impala.
I pre-ordered from model round up and had no plans to build it for awhile. After watching this episode I immediately opened it and discovered that half of my floor pan isn't even molded. I recommend checking them

Great build and presentation Chris!!
Another awesome hit out of the park Chris stay safe and positive
That's a killer kit, beautifully done!
Another awesome build!!
Another Awesome Job Chris, thanks For Sharing n God Bless All 👍👍 Gary.
Man your freehand paint work amazrs me, great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey~ I jst went to MRU and picked up this kit, along with two other Moebius ford kits. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep on truckin along.
Great review,really dig that front grill.awesome build. Thanks Chris big fan of your channel.peace.
Bought this kit just now, to shorten up the frame and driveshaft to add my Open Road camper kit! Will be perfect (hopefully)
Never built a Moebius kit, but this one will probably be the first one. So many ways to make it look sweet!! Chris your version of this kit is awesome!!!
That truck looks awesome. Great job.
Glad you like it!
That sure did build up nicely. Maybe that’ll be my next project.
Another great video. Thank you!
Nice job Chris thank you for sharing 😊
Killer job as usual... Awesome!
Another great build/review Chris! I may have to get ahold of one for myself. Thanks for the review. 😎👍🏾
Can hardly wait to get mine!

Another awesome build. Thanks for sharing as always. Love the videos man
That is a lovely F350 race hauler Chris! Been eyeing it for a while, good to know about the warp issues!
Very nice job - looks great.
Can't believe they give you a C4 transmission for that big ass truck
Absolutely love it, Chris! I can't wait to buy a few of these kits. So the real question is when are you gonna show us around your place? We wanna see everything you've built over the years!

Nice looking build sir! Great job as usual!
I just started building this kit and the hood is really, really warped so I will email them
I’m getting one of these for my birthday next week I hope it’s not worped to bed
I wish they would do the Snake & Mongoose Dodge race trucks. 4:29 diffs one looks like a front for 4x4. The hood is dented by someone stood on it.
I don't remember this kit being that good though I think I built it as a Chev. That one-piece ladder frame is nice, as are the slotted wheels. The twin I-beam front axle is very nice as is the choice of transmissions.

You need a falcon drag car on it. Lol
Would using a little bit of heat help straighten out the warping without causing further damage?
How easy would it be to cut the frame down to standard length? I want to use one of them to make an accurate Cooter's Tow Truck.
What glue are you using
Are those 4WD front axles? I noticed the center section is off center. Can we make this a 4x4?
