    1949 ford

    53gmc posted a topic in WIP: Model Cars

    A friend gave me this 49 ford kit a little while ago and now it's up to be built

    Got the blazer wrapped up today. Added a few things to the interior, beer box, rifle, cooler, and handy man jack.

    Thank you! It's actually a display case I found on amazon

    Got the truck wrapped up today. Finished it up as a foremans truck.

    Got the blazer chassis assembled. Used the white wall tires and rear hubcaps from the chevy pickup kit
  6. 53gmc
    Chassis is done on the truck. Unfortunately I'm having issues with the resin bed. I contacted the seller and he's sending me a replacement so in the meantime I'll focus on the blazer

    Thank you, Texas 3d customs. They have a store on ebay, a bit expensive but well worth it

    Thank you! I wouldn't mine owning a truck with the v6 someday

    The resin short bed and 67-68 hood came in today. It also came with a shortened frame too but I think I'm gonna run the revell frame
  11. 53gmc
    Thinking of using this frame from the 64 chevy kit. Made coil springs out of wire.

    Thanks! This will probably be one of my most involved builds

    Got both engines painted and assembled. Added wiring and fuel lines. It's crazy how big that gmc v6 is compared to the sbc
  14. 53gmc
    That's why I'm doing it this way, I wish they would reissue the gmc kit
  15. 53gmc
    Mated the trucks block to the Jimmy's transmission
  16. 53gmc
    While I wait for parts and paint to dry, I decided to start on the jimmy/blazer. A common complaint about this kit is the engines proportions. The red engine is from the c10 kit, the white is from the jimmy kit.

    Interior is almost done, waiting on door handles. Found a little model box for the 72 gmc kit I might add to the seat.
  18. 53gmc
    Interior is almost done just waiting on the door handles from ebay. Aftermarket gauges, p.e. pieces on the dash, parts box steering wheel/column/pedals/ seat belts. Didn't want another black or gray interior so I picked a metallic blue that would've been close to a factory option.

    Found this steering column with a shifter on it in my parts box. I'm back dating the truck to a '67. this steering wheel is pretty close to a 67/68 wheel as opposed to the kits 71/72 wheel.

    Thank you, I wanted a metallic purple but couldn't find it. So it's a heavy silver metallic base with rattle can purple over it
  21. 53gmc
    Scratch built some base model door panels. The arm rest are made from the center console
  22. 53gmc
    Seats ready for primer
  23. 53gmc
    Cut the bucket seats/center console out and started turning them into a bench seat. I'm thinking of making a saddle blanket style seat cover for it. I haven't decided on weather or not I'm going to do anything with the door panels or just leave them as they are.

    Partially built up the big v6 and mocked it up in the engine bay. This engine is nicely detailed, it's such a shame to build it up and hide alot of the details.
  25. 53gmc
    Starting with the pickup first. I stripped all the emblems since this truck will be turned into a gmc. Also sanded off the side trim to represent a lower level truck.
