I'm calling this one done fellows. Under Glass: https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/191476-1950-ford-pikes-peak-truck/ YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em6mdRqZf70&t=547s

Just finished this one up earlier today. This is the Monogram 1950 Ford Pickup kit that has been build as a Pikes Peak runner. Power comes from an Iceman Ford 7.3 Diesel Power Stroke engine on Nitro's. The body kit and wheels & tires come from Texas 3D Customs. Nitro's bottles are also from the Iceman. Body color is Tamiya Light Grey Surface Primer cleared with Tamiya X-22 Clear. All the bright work was blacked out using Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black then cleared.

Great kit and I really like the Pro Street. Coming along nicely.

Welcome back to modeling Larry. I can just see the Big smile on your face. I'll be watching for your post on the 57 project.

That's pretty kewl looking Chuck. Nice build.

Super looking 41 Plymouth Greg. Love that color and it has a good looking stance. I'm diggin the license plate.

All the mods seemed to work out really nice. I'm diggin the wheels and Great looking color and stance.

Thanks Roger. Yeah, I'm not all that up on what a Diesel engine should look like all dressed out.

Thanks David. I got it back apart. Now to get it back together and make it look right.

Nice looking little Duster Mario. That Hemi looks nice.

Yeah, a Big Whoopsie.

I appreciate it Carl but I Just realized something. I some how forgot to glue the pulley system on the front of the engine. I already had the engine glued in and the chassis glued to the body. I'm in trouble now. I guess I'm loosing my mind. That is differently a first.

I got the Iceman Ford 7.3 Diesel Power Stroke engine finished up. I did a trial fit in the engine bay and I'm going to have to do some cutting on the firewall and the floor pan. I knew I left the firewall out for some reason.

Really nice looking 53 Ford pickup and trailer Bill. That diorama is going to look pretty kewl.

Not a big fan of the Gremlin but this is looking pretty kewl.

Two great looking builds.

Nice looking Hot Rod. Fantastic build.

I got my Nitro's bottles in from the Iceman so I started a little mock-up. I found these two white pieces in the parts box and I believe they are going work to hold the bottles in place. I'm using some brass pins which I've cut the heads off to attach the Nitro's bottle brackets to the bed of the truck.

You gotta nice run at the 32 Ford Roadster. That's a lot of pony's in the business end. I'm liking it.

That's a good looking color on the body Ken. What did you paint the exhaust pipes with?

That's the start of a nice looking 29 Ford pickup.

Front and rear gaskets and glass has been installed.

I got my Ford 7.3 Power Stroke engine in last night and I have it off the tree and cleaned up ready for paint. How's the Roadster coming along?

Much obliged Carl.

I'm really diggin the flatty. What color is that on the chrome parts? Looks nice.
