IceMan Collections Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) This is the 3rd 40 Ford truck I am working on. Since I was working on the engine for the Rat Rod, I figured I'd put these together as well. They are flathead engines from a 48 Merc. This kit is worth it just for the engine, actually. Not too detailed but nothing alittle after market parts cant fix. Still needs some more details but its whee I left off tonight. Edited April 22, 2015 by iceman-555
IceMan Collections Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks Carl and Dan. Not sure which one of these I will use but I did get some painting done. We've hit the high 70s so the weather is perfect in the evenings for paint. Even though this is the third one of these, it'll be the first one I finish. I'm using it to get familiar with the kit for the gold one and the rat rod versions. Going with a two tone. I was torn between doing this one a full on farm truck with rust and dents and animals or doing a show truck. So I'm going to try and do something in between....whatever that is. Lol. Black and green is what I'm going with. Here are some pics of where it's at.
IceMan Collections Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Thanks All. Small update on this one. The chassis is starting to come together. Hosted on Fotki
IceMan Collections Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks Richard. After another member kindly explained my mistake on this engine, I fixed it...I think. Still needs some work but should look more accurate. The rest of it coming together slowly. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
IceMan Collections Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Yeah I know what you mean, bud. But this one will have the bed. I'm thinking a future project should work that way. Here is the work I've done this weekend. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
IceMan Collections Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Pulled this one back out of the box. Should be wrapping it up pretty soon. Next pics should be the completed ones in the next few days. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
slusher Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Looking very Sharp Iceman. Did you semi gloss the body?. I like it.
IceMan Collections Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 Thank Carl. Yes I did. I sprayed the gloss medium green and then I toned it down with Rustoleum Mate clear. Just finished it few minutes ago. 1 down 2 to go. More in the Under Glass section. Hosted on Fotki
rsxse240 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 I love the fact that it has an utilitarian look with the matt color but still has a high end paint and build quality. Rat rods are too trendy. Great job!
Lunajammer Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 That wood is quite striking. I really like it.
