50 Ford Pick Up and Kurtis Midget Racer. Finished

[Johnt671]

I finished this a while ago and was waiting for a sunny day to show the gold flecks, but that's not going to happen here. I have a thread in the workbench section if anyone wants to see the whole build,

This is the two kits. I got the  Ford for Christmas and the racer at Ollies a few years ago.

We got off to a bad start with a bent frame, but I got it to go back into shape.

It all went together pretty good.

 

I was amazed at the detailing of the Kurtis motor, the wash really made it pop.

Thanks for looking.

Really turned out great. I like the "new tires" wrapped in the bed. That really sets the time line for this build.

Thanks for the kind words. Here's a closer shot of the truck.

Here's a close up of the motor. It's a parts pack 427 Ford with a resin carb. I didn't have headers for this motor, so I had to use manifolds from a 302 Mustang kit and use heat to get them to line up on the 427. This was my second shot at using a pin vise to do the spark plug wires and the first non-hemi motor I've wired. Next come the boots for the plug wires.

 

I missed posting this picture earlier.

Excellent work - I've been following this build from the beginning.  The push bumper on the hauler is probably my favorite addition to the truck.  You have the makings of a nice little diorama there.

Very cool and nice details.

Excellent build. I like the truck, the car, the paint, the decals, the details.  Pretty much everything. Sharp!

Great combo, like they were made for each other.

Thanks, When I got the Kurtis the box referred to two kits that would come with the trailer hitch, an older woodie wagon and the 50 Ford pick up.Since I hadn't built a pick up since before I started shaving I went that way.
