Great looking 1 ton dully, this would be a great work truck. Like the paint color and finish.

Beautiful paint and color. Like the clean bumper less look. The wheel and tire setup look perfect for this.

Great looking paint color and finish. Like the wheel and tire combo.

Great looking paint finish. Like the detailed Flathead engine.

Remarkable looking finish on the body. Great detailing on the engine and exposed suspension. Like the stance along with the wheels and tires.

Great looking paint work and the road runner on the rear quarters fits right in. Very cleanly built and like the stance.

Beautiful looking paint finish and Bandit trim. Like the detailing on the interior and engine.

Both builds are beautifully done. Fallowed your WIP and like how you melded the Ford and Plymouth bodies. Paint colors and finishes along with the wood trim look great. Like the interiors and the way you detailed the drive trains.

The flame colors look great.

Looks like an old Hudson from behind.

Your reference picture of the green and white Del Rio is how Ford did the two-tone paint from the factory for the front. An attractive color combination. The rear paint treatment is where some controversy may come in. The only thing that really matters is what you want it to look like. I have seen it done two ways as an OEM paint treatment. #1 would be like was done on the passenger cars. The break would be from the bottom center of the tail lamps to the bumper leaving the tail gate area the same color as the middle color on the body sides. #2 May have been a factory option since I recall seeing it done also in this fashion when these were new. Ford had a small diameter chrome trim that started where the rear window opened and curving along the top of the taillight fin and ending in the center of the top of the fin. This was to break the side colors from the roof and lower body leaving the tailgate the same color as the roof and lower body. Strickly as a visual example and not trying to tell you how to do your color treatment in any way, this picture is just an example to see if it would even be a consideration.

This has seemed to work for us.

Like the understated color and great paint finish. Clean grill and bumpers. Nice interior upgrades. The engine looks like "Pop" could get to the beach on a hurry if the Surfs Up.

Like seeing a good old fashion work truck. Realistic looking finishes and the long bed and bigger wheels.

Like the color scheme and the stance.

Hi Jeff, thanks for looking in. I have been lucky using the Tamiya rattle can white on several builds. In fact, my 1:1 cars and trucks have more often than not been white, I just think they look cleaner, and the PD doesn't seem to notice them as much.

I'll enjoy watching them both.

Beautiful looking paint finish and chrome details. I think this is what used to be called a "Street Freak". From what you can see of the suspension it looks as if that is done to the same standard as the paint work.

Great looking paint color and finish. I actually saw one this same color on the highway a couple of days ago. Hard to miss it. Cleanly detailed body trim and engine.

Great looking dark blue color and finish. Started on this same model this week. What did you use for the grill? I had robbed the factory 2x4 setup for another project and flopping around for a replacement, what did you use?

Beautiful looking color and finish. Not normally a fan of vinyl roofs on 1:1's or scale models, but when done like this I think it looks great. Great engine detailing and stance.

Being a Ford, maybe a blown Cammer engine?

That is sometimes referred to as a "Product Mix" depending on the products involved.

Another alternative to foil or decals maybe to use Tamiya TS-21 Gold spray for the inset. Suggest masking the area where it meets the chrome trim before foiling. After the paint dries just mask the area off when painting the body.

Reminds me of a friend's "Toad" kit car from the sixties.
