Gerald Haney Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 1955 ford panel truck. I used Z-man wheels, I lowered the stance, created the custom decals, wires the engine, I used hair spray technique to get the rusty weathered look. Dechromed the front grille, side mirrors, both bumpers, Scratch built beer cans in front seat and floorboard. Finished this one in february. 2nd completed in ‘19 1
Intmd8r Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) absolutely perfect! Not a thing I don't like about this. Curious how you went about lowering the stance (nailed it BTW). I know the kit stock chassis does not represent the OEM suspension. Edited March 8, 2019 by Intmd8r
SoDak1 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Very cool! I was toying with a similar idea using the 39 chevy sedan delivery and Hamms!
Gerald Haney Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 Here’s so more pics of the truck. I used the stock suspension I modified slightly to get it higher into the frame and the attach points on the wheels to get the stance right where I wanted it. The beer boxes were printed by a guy from eBay, the dolly was from the ‘50 Chevy amt Coca Cola kit. I used a watch dial for the gas cap for some extra detail. Scratch built a coil and mounted to fire wall. Kens fuzzy fur was used on the cab floor. Createx yellow transparent paint used on the windows for the tint.

espo Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Great looking weathering and I like the way you aged the signage on the truck.
Ben269 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 This is very cool. I love the idea, and the execution.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I really like it! Just be careful where you cruise, be aware of those open container laws! ;-)
