a couple of new Ford conversions based on the 5000/7000 chassis

[Deerepower]

work in progress at the moment, first up a Ford 7810 and then a Doe 5100

[MDFord]

Coming along nicely BP The 7810 eh, what a popular model that you dont see many accurate conversions of, usually a re decalled Britains 7710.

You could be on to a winner here Mark()

thanks mate, I thought as I've shortend the chassis before for the 4000 and 4600 I would extend the chassis to a 6 pot engine so they was right

[Johny mf]

Looking good B.P. like to see how it looks like when they are finished!

Is the extra cyl bit you cut off to make the 3 cyl models the bit you added for these then mate.

Waste not want not

no mate there's 4 5000/7000's been used to make the 2 models, both been cut so I mated up 2 lots of 3 cyl, plus need to extend the bonnets by using 2 bonnets cut and made into one as well as shaping the 7810 bonnet (I also made the 7810 grill myself)

Ah right, sounds quite involved The end result is well worth it

it's quite a quick task cutting the chassis's as the bonnets are removed first and the dremel just slices through it quickly all you have to do is remember is if your cutting the front 3 cyl or rear ones , the 7810 bonnet takes a bit more work cutting and shaping it another one I'm doing is the 5000/7000 chassis extended but with an extented 7710 bonnet on it

the last one will end up something like a ford 9700, but have had thoughts of making it a 8200 if I can get the decals made for it

[Johny mf]

i can try to scan the brochure of it (iff i have that brochure in the collection!)

Maybe some good use for the decals for you

will look for you tomorow

Send me PM tomorow to remind me! mate

cheers mate did see someone on ebay doing the 8200 decals but it they want ?5(with P&P) for them and I wouldn't pay that for them

[Johny mf]

Not shure i have the brochure mate it will be a big search for it because i have about 3000 difrent brochure's of tractors/machinery

I LOVE MY DAD BECAUSE HE HAD COLLECT THEM EVEN WHEN I WHERE NOT BORN!!!

looking good mate, you want to have a gander at casting those bonnets would save lots of time and money buying two and cutting them up

I'm thinking about it, could also cast the bit to extend the engine as well

these models are very good , when finished they will look spot on. the 7810 is the best i've seen with some decals mirrors etc it will look very good. keep up the good work  ;)
