I used a old product from the aircraft guys called SNJ. Painted the block and trans SNJ aluminum finish . Painted the trans pan , oil pan and carb ,model master brass. Painted the headers Molotow with clear blue and clear red for heat staining. Used a Morgan automotive detail distributor. Not as good as all of you guys ,but I’m trying. My first truck and it is a great kit.

Thank you ewetwo and thank you Nacho Z. Did a little on the motor. Just spark plug wires and coil.

Thank you guys. Have not made up my mind for interior color yet. The paint is a water based automotive paint. Was kind of a blue / turquoise color and tinted it to this color. Have a old color chart and found this old ford color that the foose truck might look good in. Gulf Stream aqua. So I tinted it to get this. Just a one shot deal. Just something different. Here is the paint and gun I use. The paint is from color choice. bmw paint. The clear is a urethane sherwin Williams clear. HPC 15. The paint gun is a sata mini jet. Works very well for models. Harbor freight has a copy of this gun for $20 I think.

Put away my 32 ford to do this. A 1956 foose f100 . Gulf Stream Aqua . Going to build it simple. Going to add spark plug wires. Seems like a good kit. Traded with Slusher. A great trader.

Thank you sir. See you at the NNL West. Here is the beginning of my feeble attempt to build the foose truck.

Shelby and focus ,oh and a crx

Received these at our model Christmas party.

Hello Art. I believe I saw this truck at the NNL West. Great build! Made a trade with Slusher. He sent one to me and it looks like a great kit. You have built a gem. I bought some products from you at the NNL West. Are you going to be there in January? If so , I will have to spend more money on your great products! Hope to see you there. Great build on your truck.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Hello All, I have been into automotive body shops since I was a teen.(1969). I like all cars , drag, road race. Factory stock , hot Rods, nascar you name it. Still a auto body tech with all the welding and certifications needed for ford, Chevy, Toyota , BMW, Ferrari. Aluminum repair and paint certified also. PPG, Sherwin Williams, Spice. Had my own shop for 15 years. Restored Ferrari’s, Maseratis, cobras, Shelby mustangs, corvettes, and even a 32 Rolls. Raced several cars. Vintage raced my Shelby Mustang. So I guess I’m a real car freak. But I really like modeling. I try to hold it back a bit so I can complete a model. One can get carried away with detail if you know how it’s supposed to be. Sometimes I do not model for awhile because I work on the real thing and need to relax and not think about cars. But I still like it. I’m restoring a 65 mustang and have several cars. A 1985 crx si and a c6 corvette. And a few SUV’s . I have had the great opportunity to meet the automotive greats. Mario Andretti, Don Garlits, Al Teague ( he had a streamliner that did 409 mph at the salt flats). AJ Foyt. Dan Gurney, Carroll Shelby and many other great car people. Modeling is fun and I like the IPMS contests. The NNL events are a blast. Have great friends that I have met in modeling. Hard to beat. Real cars do help with modeling. I really like aircraft but do not know a lot about it. Built a real Pitts biplane. But that’s it. Trying to build more aircraft , so I know how you feel about cars. Just build and have fun! That’s what it’s all about. Here are some pics of the most detailed car I have done. A Ferrari P4

Thank you sir. I will look out for this. Your build is super cool.

Beautiful! Love the colors. May I ask what problem there was with the body fit to the chassis? What should I look for. Going to build one soon. Thanks

Thank you Creative Explorer

Thank you very much!!!! It will help with my detail builds!!!! WOW have a lot to learn.

It’s ok, we are all crazy about styrene and the things associated with it. Some of my friends collect models and do not build. On of my friends have over 7000 car models and even built a building just for them. And the paint! Wow. So it is quite normal to be crazy about paint and plastic. ? I guess

This filled a lot of gaps in the movie. Still a good movie Would watch again

Thank you Matt

Slusher is a great trader! Very happy trading with him!

Impressive!!

Yea

Hi Lee, the tires are from my parts box. I do not know where they are from. Wheels are scale Motorsports.

Gives me a little more room for maybe a blower .
