The extra effort to make the kit roof look factory really paid off... Your color choices make for a subtle yet stunning presentation. VERY well done.👍

Very cool.... I'd go cruising in that!!!

Funky and cool...... I'm lovin' it!!!!!

Beautiful build! I'm loving the stance and engine updates. I built one pretty much box stock when the kit was first released, back around 1978.... It's long gone, but your build has inspired me to track down another one and give it a go.👍

Have got to find myself one of those Navigators... Love the concept!

That is one sweet effie!!!!

Your patina is spot on... With it's lowered stance and wheel/tire combo that looks like it would be one fun truck in real life. 👍

I started with the Revell Foose 56 F100, built mostly box stock... Changes include tweaking the stance just a bit, modifying the kit wheels to accept those large diameter Arrowhead Specialties Astro-Vette Moon style aluminum disc wheel covers. Other additions were the tonneau cover from AMT's '53 F100 kit (shortened 1/8"), and stock style taillights and stock rear bumper from Revell's old tool '56 F100. Paints used are all Tamiya.... Chrome Yellow, Racing White, and Semigloss Black.... Decals are from Mr. Model. Under hood changes were limited to a MAD pre-wired distributor and Altered States Cadillac air cleaner... Any good shop truck needs to earn it's keep, so this one is being put to work as tow vehicle for a little land speed streamliner... The mini streamliner is a resin copy of the one originally found in AMT's '63 F100 annual kit. It was cast solid, so the cockpit had to be ground out so it could be fitted with a small seat and steering wheel/dash from the parts stash. Exhaust trumpets are actually short injector tubes from Parts By Parks. Decals are, again, from Mr. Model as well as some markings that I drew up on my computer. The trailer comes from a Revell Midget Racer kit and was modified with wider ramps and MOON aluminum disc wheel covers from Scale Repros.

Another great trade to report @the60falcon.... Thanks for a great trade, even if USPS took it's sweet time getting it to me, giving the package a tour of 1/4 of the country along the way! 😜

I just type the at symbol @, followed by the first couple of letters in the members name. A drop down typically appears with names starting with those letters. I then click on the appropriate name and the link automatically loads. For example, @mcs1056.... Hope this helps.

Just wrapped up a trio of terrific trades with @Wick Humble @Zippi and @gbtr6.... Thanks guys!!!!

PM sent Seriously diggin' the LUV. Can't tell from the pics... Does it have a grille? Anyway, I'll take a dive into my parts stash and see what I can scare up. (Pretty sure I have several sets of flipper caps Fiesta, Lancer, etc.)

Agreed... That Mercedes is gorgeous!

A big shout out to @LOBBS.... Thanks for a great trade and your patience while I sorted through my health issue.
