Well done on a so-so kit. Really like the color and as mentioned the name fits it well, also enjoyed the phrase along the rear panel (Fords rule).

Very well done modified. Those old truck frames add so much more realism to the older modifieds, used one on my '40 Willys modified. Looks like you may be needing a new left front, it appears as if the cord is showing in a couple of spots. Great build all the way around.

Only problem is, in 2021 no one knows what they are or how to use them.

Excellent work, very nice weathering. Is that a WalMart shopping cart stuck between the trees? I am going to have to go back through these pictures later, when I have time to just pick out the details. Thanks for sharing.

Originally there was a rear seat in the car, the rear wheel wells came just that far. Since I have removed the rear seat the original pieces are too short. I have thought of trying to add on too them, but they do have some compound curves that would be difficult to match. However, if they can be modified to use it would carry the "factory" look to the pick-up box.

No, this is going to be a Magnum SRT8RPU (Roadster Pick-Up) I am talking about the rear inside fenders. The problem is finding or building something that looks right. Sort of want it to have a factory look, but may have to resort to scratchbuilding something to fit. Will look at that again when I get it back on the bench.

My former VFW post commander owns a black one. It had been dropped a little bit and has one healthy rumble when he gets a bit heavy-footed. Here is one I began working on over two years ago, it stonewalled over how to build inner-fenders. Will need to get back on it when I finish three or four more that have been idle for more than two years. That hemi engine is a masterpiece. I opened the grille, it will be backed with black mesh.

What is the latest on release of this kit, or have I completely missed it?

More than likely you will pass more than one gas station before you get to a charging station, especially out in the open country.

I guess I am old and unable to accept some change and EV is one of them. I was talking with a gentleman who had just purchased a used Tesla. I questioned him about the range and how he knew where to find charging stations. His reply was the car had a navigation system which identified charging stations, so you determined your route by where the charging stations were. My thoughts are, what if I do not want to take that route; maybe I want to take a more back-country scenic route. A good friend of mine works at a nuclear power station with one of the major eastern power companies. He is adamant that the power grid is unable to support a large influx of EV's. Also mentioned to the Tesla owner how much I enjoyed the slight rumble of the exhaust on my F-150. He said the Tesla has a recording of engine noises. That makes we think of the vegetarian who buys a plant-based hamburger, why not buy the real thing and get the full flavor. Rant over.

That is one mighty fine F-100, colors fit it well. Nice clean build, good job.

Went fishing yesterday. I do that more often now that I am retired. My friend and I caught 12 catfish and two sunfish. I had the good fortune to catch this beauty: unofficial 26" nose to tip of tail fin and 10 #'s. Best part is I caught it on my ultra-light rod spooled with 4# test line. Put up a good fight.

I am not familiar with the chassis of the Wedge. If it is the one piece unit modified from the pick-up kit then it will require quite a bit of further modification to work. Most rollbacks I have seen have dual rear tires unlike the set-up for the Wedge. Again, if it is the one piece unit you may be able to slice the chassis off right behind the back of the cab and scratchbuild a new rear chassis segment to fit the rollback. You would also need a longer driveshaft, one ton or better rear axle, and a set of dualies. I would suggest trying to find one of the earlier Ford 1-ton pickup kits, or maybe wait for the release of the Chevy 3500 I have been hearing about. Either way good luck with your build.

Really nice looking charger, especially like the header flanges. But, most of all your photography is very well done. That first picture caught me off guard for a moment, thought it was the real thing.

Really looks the part, reminds me of my younger days waiting my turn to roll my '65 SS Chevelle into the lights at Sportsman's Park Dragway in Farmington, NC when it was a 1/4 mile. Those days of drag-racing were really some of the best. Your "Zorro" looks like so many of the early Stockers and Super-Stockers of the day. Very nice build.

Very nicely done shortening of the body/chassis. The Shoebox Fords are often overshadowed by the Fat-Fenders, but they can be built into some beautiful renditions. Really like this build. Did you alter the rear wheel location, or is that the stock location after shortening the frame?

Although it is not a Gasser, I am looking forward to this build. I have one in my stash and will be watching for any areas of concern. Build on.

Don't know if I would want to go out with a woman with that color nail polish. However, it looks really good on your hot rod. Nice work chopping the top, overall one beautiful rod.

Have to completely agree with all the above, that is one beautiful Model A. Your color choice is outstanding.

Really nice looking Hornet, those colors go together quite well. I do not envy you the chrome on this beast. What is your choice of punishment - BMF, Molotow, or paint.

That is one flat-out wicked looking Corvette. Everything works so well together - the wheels, the colors, and that engine just makes it one awesome ride.

Very pretty Chevelle, that yellow fits it so well. And as mentioned the tan interior is an excellent choice.

Not going to make the CKM deadline, since it is this coming Saturday and I am not even in final primer on the body. Still need to fabricate an interior, do some more body work, finish the frame extension, and get an engine built. Here is where I am right now. The suspension will be raised just a fraction to clear the tires, may have to open the fender wells a bit. Those are some rather large tires, but they measure out at 20" by 31" which is the size on my 1:1.

I love customs, it's going to be interesting following this one.
