one of my favorites is Danny Shafer's 1956 Ford F-100. It was the centerfold of Hot Rod magazine in August of 1990. They updated it at some point and it lost the original appeal for me. Your mock up makes me want to do some cutting myself haha

Ill be following along! but I must interject, a gasser would not have that large of tire, they would also not be tucked under the fenders. I know the subject has been beat to death everywhere, and Im not trying to discourage you from building what you want in any way. if the tires are tucked under and its tubbed, its a pro street pick up, if it also has a straight axle, its a straight axled pro street pick up. I just grew up with my father being a 60s to early 70s Ford and Mercury drag race historian and stuff like that has been drummed into my head my whole life haha

thats one reason Im not going with a t56 in my 65 Comet. thanks!

Nice paint work!

thanks, I'll definitely check it out

hey guys, with rising kit costs, I'm no longer buying kits for 1 or 2 parts. Are there any sources for a modern domestic performance type manual trans.... basically tremec 5 speed t56 6 speed etc. I saying that, rattle off some kits that have them so I can search for cheap ones. I know the Revell Saleen mustang, Revell Rat Roadster and Nascar for modern 4 speeds (though I'm mostly looking for street type stuff) THANKS!!!

thats why I sent you the link haha

IDK when Ill start, but Im already putting the pieces together.

its like youre inside my head. Im planning a full fendered vicky with that same body. I was mocking it up on a revell chassis and I was planning on using the AMT wheels and tires haha Mine will be more tradtional though

with the amount of work you have into it, Id be displaying it just as it is for now. Like Alan said, eventually youll get back to it.

I had a 1:1 61 that I had mocked up at the ride height I wanted. My plan was a wild 60s era show custom. I miss that car somedays. nice work on the resto!

CONGRATS

thats gonna be a seller for sure...Im gonna need a few

awesome!

KILLER!!!!! IM gonna need to find the custom parts

I started an extended cab conversion YEARS ago that I was turning into a roadster that laid body.

Ive been kind of thinking about doing the same thing to break out of my mental issues with building lately. I currently have a 3 window and a 5 window mocked up on my display cabinet...I have a bunch more I can mock up too

Sorry Mike.

THANKS! Now I have no excuse haha I have one of the originals in my stash

The original use for those scoops were on the Ford F700 and larger trucks of the late 50s/ 60s. and into the early 70s. Pontiac then used them on the super dutys The trucks they were available on are: 1957-1963 F700-1100, T700-950, B700-750. 1964-1969 F750-1100, N750-1100, T750-950, NT850-950. 1970-1972 F750-950, B750-950, LN600-700

SWEET! always liked that color.

KILLER! I absolutely love the bed design

coming along nicely!

Looks killer! Whitewalls will kill the vibe youve already set in motion by eliminating the chrome and polished aluminum

NICE WORK Hope you don't mind me posting this... I started playing mock up with my Drag City chopped moredoor.
