Great tutorial fixing the “gaping maw” of the wheel opening. I might actually build one now instead of robbing all the cool parts for other builds.

Incredible!

Thanks for bringing this back up! I really did enjoy the read.

Nice build! I just finished one as well. Love this kit!

Thanks guys! I appreciate all the comments.

Yes, but in the kit with the V windshield (Duvall style) the bump on the top of the cowl has been removed. You’d need to add the bump back as well as some divots for the windshield stancions. the pic is a stock style cowl for a stock flat windshield.

EDIT: Not sure why it posted twice? Mods may delete this one.

This one is 90% done, will post in under glass when completed.

Hey Dennis- I dug up this thread because I'm entering a group build on YouTube. We will all be building the Monogram 1/24 55 F-100, and I was pretty uninspired. The AMT 53 is such a better kit. Think they'd notice if I built an AMT 53 instead? ?Your cool little F-100 build brings lots of inspiration! Fair warning I may copy some things on mine you did on this cool little 53. Definitely gonna be built in Hot Rod or Kustom style. Did you say where the double line skinny whites came from? Gotta get me some of those.

Built one, love it. Anything Ed does at Drag City is first class! Looking forward to progress.

Nice, that's close to an original 56 color, my dad had one two tone black and that "green-yellow". I always liked it.

Looking good! I'm just finishing up one of these. I'll post in the underglass section soon, it's too far along to be in the workbench area. I did it as an early taildragger, only thing I did extra was chop the top.

That 3w body really sucks so you pretty much performed a miracle here! Killer!

Wow!

That’s a killer color combo! I’m gonna steal it.

Nice build, and nice color combo. I’ve got several of these kits but I keep stealing the bumpers and steering wheels for other Kustom builds.

Great job on the details! It’s turning out really nice!

Thanks for the kind words!

I really like how this build turned out. Enjoy!

Almost done with this one. Will post in under glass when finished.

Started to build the OHV Cadillac, trying out a color on the frame, those are 1/18 GMP Midget wheels. Apparently 1/18 midget wheels are the same size as 1/25 normal size 16-17” wheels. Cool discovery.

Glad I clicked on this thread, I ordered some MCW paint for the first time recently, so all advice on that product is appreciated.
