Lovefordgalaxie Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Started building this little F-100 for a Facebook page (Factory-Dealer Stock) community build. Due to some other projects, I didn't finish it in time, and the truck sat inside the box, with just the body painted for a month. This week I finally decided to finish her, and I did so a few hours ago. The truck was built in my style, what is in box stock, and factory stock fashion. The color is FoMoCo Seafoam Green, even tough for my eyes it looks blue... I double checked the color codes and formula, and it's in fact the Seafoam Green. The color was mixed in automotive synthetic enamel, and airbrushed. Well, here are some pictures. Hope you guys enjoy!! 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr 1953 Ford F-100 Standard by Túlio Lazzaroni, on Flickr
wayne swayze Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 That's the best factory stock '53 I have ever seen! As usual, beautiful workmanship, paint and details! I love it!
cobraman Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Another sweet looking Ford from the Ford expert ! Very nice !
Lovefordgalaxie Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 WOW guys, don't even know what to say to you...Thanks a lot!!
mike 51 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 looks great! you even got the grille right bravo!
gatorincebu Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Truly a fine replica . That model is a work of art. Be Well Gator
ChrisBcritter Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Another gem, Tulio! It also demonstrates what a good job AMT did on the tooling. I bet it was a lot of fun getting the teeth out of that grille (been there, done that).
Spex84 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Holy moly you made that old kit look good. Probably the best stock build of this kit I've seen. Inspiring work!

I bet it was a lot of fun getting the teeth out of that grille (been there, done that). That was fun... NO!! Almost didn't do it, but that teeth kept screaming they didn't belong there, after all it was a Deluxe grille on a Standard truck.
IceMan Collections Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Excellent build, Tulio. As always, spot on with the details.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Excellent build, Tulio. As always, spot on with the details.Thanks!! Quite an honor coming from the '53 Ford F100 specialist!!!
IceMan Collections Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Oh you're too kind. I'm not a specialist at all. Just one of my favorite pickup.
pharoah Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Sweet!IMHO ,still one of the best looking pickups - ever.Too bad Ford can't 'retro' their trucks like they did the Mustang.
peekay Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Really beautiful build of one of my all-time favourite kits. The paint is really stunning and the bed floor totally convincing. Brilliant job as usual, Tulio!

The paint is really stunning and the bed floor totally convincing. Brilliant job as usual, Tulio!Thanks!!!! This was my first attempt on this kit. I was never much of a truck builder, so many cars, so little time to dedicate to the hobby.I really suck at painting wood, never got it to look half decent, so, I cheated. Made decals!!! I have a Revell '48 Ford woody, and didn't build it yet because I can't get the wood frames to look decent.
