Black Cherry Revell Foose FD-100 Completed! 09-23-18


Recommended Posts

Thanks for all the comments, guys. As hard as I tried, I could not quite get it finished for the show. But I did get it mocked up enough to have something presentable, so I put it on the table anyway. Chip Foose was at the show and judged the Foose entries, and even though mine was not eligible, he liked what I had done and we talked about it for a little bit. He liked the color and wheel selection, which made my day.

Before the show, I got the wheels painted and the chassis mostly put together, including some modifications to the rear shocks, adding some real springs.

The LA Roadster Show was a two day show, and Friday was pretty quiet, so I thought I would use some of that time to finish the build. I didn't quite make it. I still have to correct the fit issues with the cab and add the door handles and gas cap. I'd also like to re-shoot the Alclad on the grill and bumpers, and get the final decals on.

Finished the Foose FD 100 pickup just in time for the Cruisin’ for a Cure Show, after not quite making the LA Roadster Show in June. The chassis had a severe twist in it and wouldn’t sit on all four wheels, so I had to disassemble the truck and get another chassis from a new kit and rebuild it. Thanks to Bruce Snyder from San Diego Model Car Club for providing the kit for me. The build has an MAD pre-wired distributor, and a Pro Tech machined breather, wire looms, and T fittings on it, available from our store at www.scaleproshop.com.
