Great looking 49 Merc Surf Wagon. That Washi Tape looks good. That should work pretty good for the bed of a truck. Better tie down that surf board before you head to the beach.

Welcome to the forum Samuel.

Nice looking build. I really like the color.

Welcome to the forum John.

In added a filter to the inlet of the fan on the back of my Dehydrator.

Yeah.....I took the spray booth apart and gave it a good cleaning and put a new filter in. Should be fine I hope.

I'm back on the 59 and decided to get some paint on the body yesterday. Ran into a problem right off so I stopped. I shut the paint booth down for cleaning and the body went into the purple pond. I'm headed to the Hobby Shop to get a fresh bottle of paint so I can start over. I have the body in the Dehydrator for a good drying before I spray it again.

Thanks David. This was a nice build. On to the next one.

As always Luke. Killer looking man.

Thanks. I appreciate it man.

Thanks man. Thanks. I kinda like the darker look from the indoor pics.

Thanks man. Yeah, it would be a hell of a ride as a 1:1.

Thanks Steve.

Thanks David. Unusual color it is. It was a custom mix and didn't turn out just like I wanted but I like it.

Thanks Buddy. I really appreciate it man.

I'm calling this one done fellows. Under Glass: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/179143-1956-ford-pickup-pro-street/

Finished this one up earlier this morning. This was a fun build and the second Revell 56 pickup Pro Street I've built but this one is a bit different. The engine came out of the AMT Hotwheels Monster Truck kit. Wheels & tires are from Jays Resin Wheels 1948. I airbrushed the wheels with the liquid chrome from a Molotow pen then dried in my Dehydrator to give a more Matte look. Body paint was a custom mix of Tamiya Black Green and Black. Paint and clear was all Tamiya products mixed 50/50 with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner. Polishing was with Meguiar's Mirror Glaze fine-cut Cleaner and Liquid wax. Hope you fellows like this one. As always, comments welcome. WIP: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/178608-56-ford-truck-pro-street/
