Johnt671 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited May 2, 2017 by Johnt671 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Really turned out great. I like the "new tires" wrapped in the bed. That really sets the time line for this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnt671 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 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.

Intmd8r Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnt671 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 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.
