James2 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) First 40 Ford Pick Up I've ever built. If I ever do one again the doors and the tailgate will be glued shut! It seems the dash and the seat prevent the doors from closing completely and the hood hinge was impossible for me. Blame the color on Chuck and his Creamsicle 32, The wheels are from my stash and the rest is just different color detail paint and a little BMF.

XYHARRY Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I can't stop looking at it. Great looking pickup. Interior blends well with the body colour. Wheels and stance are spot on. Engine and chassis are super clean. Cheers, David. 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Love the color and the stance. Great looking paint and trim detailing. Were I to own an early Ford truck I would want it to look like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slotto Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Super clean. Love the details. Is this the early iron release? I had troubles with my hood hinge too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2 Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Thank you for the encouraging words glad you all like it. It was a fun project to build. I decided to adjust the door panels so they would close properly. I just thinned them out and reattached them to the inner door. I’ll do the touchup and post later. This is the kit I used, $20 at a swap meet in Sharron Pa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2 Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 It wasn't the easiest fix, doing after paint. But at least the doors close now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
