I like what you are trying to do here which is to build an accurate representation of Roth's pickup. I am also impressed with some of the detail work you have done so far. However the old Revell model has a few good parts in it, but the body, fenders and tailgate are so incorrect that it is about impossible to get an accurate 56 F100 out of it. There is an easier way. Use the front and rear fenders, inner fenders, hood, tailgate and frame from the AMT 53 Ford F100. Use the box from the Revell F1 Use the grill and cab from the Revell Foose FD100. (You can graft the back window from the AMT 53 Ford to get rid of the big window. Use the engine, front suspension, running boards with a little modification, and tail lights from the old Revell 56 Ford kit. You obviously have the skills to do this by the excellent work you have done so far. If you are interested, I built a replica of a 1:1 56 I owned using the above parts. I talked about what I did to build the model with Doug Whyte for his Model Car Muse channel on U tube. The video is a couple years old.

Hi Al. Thanks for checking in. Your feedback helps me to stay motivated.

That Starliner motor fits like a glove. I may use that with an updated fuel injection. Thanx for commenting

Thanks for checking in Bob. I will be watching for progress on the 35 3 window. Looks like a really nice body.

I do like that idea. Looks like there are some nice 3d coyotes out there. Thanks for the input

Inspiration: Car Model and Model Car Science from the 60's had an advertisement for Testors ( i think) paint showing a gloss black 64 Galaxie with a reflection of a finger on the roof. Accomplishments to date: Opened and hinged doors and hood. Added door jamb and under hood detail. Roughed in the interior components from 91 Tbird. Modified 60 Ford Starliner floor boards and frame to fit. Roughed in dashboard fitment. Wheels and tires are Pegasus. Things to do: Build 4 link rear suspension, fabricate all the linkage for accurate posable steering. Figure out a motor to use. (suggestions are welcome.) I think it will be Ford Royal Blue metallic with a little finger mail polish pearl. The interior will be light blue I think.

Here is how I am doing mine. I left the bottom portion of the door as is, and the fin as is. I slanted the B pillar of the door to match the angle of the rear window. I added a few millimeters to the rear window to line up to the slanted B pillar of the door. -
Nicely done. I will have to try Molotov. Looks really good.

Hi Micheal. Thanks for the feedback. Just went to RBMotion's website and it looks like he is taking a break until next year. I would have picked up a few more sets of his shocks if I knew he was not going to be open for a while. Hope he comes back. His stuff is top notch.

Thanks for the feedback. I like using velour for carpet. It looks in scale for carpet to me.
