oldcarfan Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I have been wanting to share a few of my builds for a while and couldn't until the new format came into effect. Forgive the quality and background they were shot on the fly in the backyard with an iPhone.
Guest Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I like the old '60 Ford pickups Gary! I've been after another one myself to build either a short style side or short flare side.
slusher Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Nice builds and like Roger i like the 60 ford trucks...
oldcarfan Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 First, I apologize for putting these in the wrong category, they should have gone into the Trucks section. Second thanks for the compliments. The red and white one is a Modelhaus kit. The black one started out as an Ebay special. The bed section wasn't in very good condition and I prefer stepsides anyway, so I cut it off and used the 53 Ford bed and various other parts.
Tom Geiger Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 nice pick-em-ups! I have a couple of those early 60s Fords that I just haven't gotten to yet. I did want to cut the integrated bed off one to make a step side myself!
StevenGuthmiller Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Nice stuff Gary!The '60 Ford truck is one of those that I still do an occasional search for on ebay.They're about as common as hens teeth, but one will present itself someday.Good work! Steve
Ryan S. Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Nice builds! How did you do the metal finish on the '34? It looks really good, like real metal.
oldcarfan Posted July 19, 2015 Author Posted July 19, 2015 Thanks for the looks! The bare metal was done as an experiment. After priming and fine sanding the body, I painted the '34 with Krylon Dull Aluminum and polished it smooth. I then heavily globbed on some acrylic flat black and then partially wiped it off before it had a chance to dry very much. It comes out looking pretty good.
disabled modeler Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Very nice Gary...those 60 Ford pickups are sweet!
