I am thinking a pearl white interior and top.

It has color and my camera is not that great at close ups,now to figure out what color for the interior.

Got some primer on the body and will get some close up pics of the motor,I am going to paint the body copper if I can find some that I like.

Making some progress on the 70 F100

A couple years ago I picked up a older AMT 28 model A roadster and it is being upgraded to a flathead V8,just getting started and hope to finish before it starts getting warmer as I have about 3 projects going on right now.

I probably would have never built this one if I did not see the other one,seeing it reminded me that I had some junk parts that could be put to use.

Its done for now,would like to find a set or more period correct rear wheels and possibly a windshield but looks like ones I have seen over the years.

Starting to look like something and a fun way to use up parts that are not good enough for nice builds,I have a couple things to add then I can call it done.

Trailer done and need a tool box and gas can so no walking back to the barn when running out.

Do not need no springs on the trailer,just weld the axle to the frame and two unusable 40 Ford rims

Its a good way to use up parts that are not good enough for other builds.

I think I have a located a full hood and might put a roof over the seats to make it a all weather doodlebug if I can find something that I can make a roof out off that would look correct.

Some more progress and can not do more until I hit the hobby shop,I am also going to build a trailer out of a 53 Ford p/u bed I made into a trailer years ago but needed parts off of it so I will have to make a new frame for it. the trailer is going to be cobbled up just like the doodlebug.

I kind of wish I never seen the other build as this one is keeping me off the other projects but I am using up some junk parts that would have never been used.

I need to find me some more correct 1 1/2 ton truck wheels to make it look better.

Seeing the other one I just had to build my own from some junk A parts I had laying around,its a combination of AMT and Monogram parts.

Where did the rear wheels come from,what I am using looks too new.

I kind of wish I never seen this on as has taken on a life of its own and I stopped on the other projects to finish it.mine is going to look like it has a rebuilt motor.

Here is what mine will look like,I would like to find a older set of rear tires but these are what I have right now. I need to make a firewall and find a hood,going to leave the frame full length so I can attach a bumper with a tow hook and this thing is going to look cobbled togather.

I am working on one while paint and glue dry non other projects,mine is going to get a semi rear end and dual wheels since that is what I have and is going to be a combination of Monogram and AMT A parts.

I am going to build this one at stock height and might get another to modify later.

I just started a 70 F100 today

Started on it tonight and looks to be a nicely detailed kit,not too happy with the rims and tires since they are like the ones that come in the Revell kits and make it difficult to use different tires but will come up with a solution.

I would like to make it look like a 50s hotrod and loose the bumpers,since the frame still has the bumper brackets and in good shape I will find another chassis in case I would like to put it back to the 70s resto rod look. I have taken it apart enough so I can put the windows back in.

Picked it up on a trade here and now to do something with it,I wish I could separate the wheels from the axles since those 70s wheels and tires need to go but I doubt it can happen so thinking about the chassis from the ZZ Top of 33 chopped top coupe kits and then some steel rims. Its complete except for one bumper and was built good.
