Dennis Lacy Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Finished up my '53 F100 from over on the workbench section. This model was a couple of firsts for me. It is the first 1950's vehicle I've ever built and the first curbside model. I had a lot of fun and am quite pleased with how it turned out. Some of the modifications include adding louvers to the hood, moving the front wheel openings forward 4.5 scale inches, smoothing and opening the grill, deleting the bumper and molding in the front pan, molded in rear rolled pan and 1948 Ford taillights. Wheels are from the most recent AMT 1936 Ford kit with their parts pack double stripe tires. The tuck & roll interior set comes from my friend Ed at Drag City Casting and, to me, is the icing on the cake for this truck. Color is Testors one coat Root Beer with Tamiya Racing White and Maroon. Decals all come from the most recent AMT 1934 Ford Pickup. All comments or criticisms are welcome! Edited November 26, 2019 by Dennis Lacy 1
alan barton Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I just wanta get in and drive! What a magnificent exercise in restraint. I am very impressed by your patience in being able to graft those louvred panels into your hood and not damage them in the sanding process - that is an amazing feat in it's own right! Cheers Alan
espo Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Beautiful paint work. I like the changes to the Hood and the rest of the front end. The interior changes really look good.
Tom Geiger Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Very, very nice! I was watching the build with great interest. You knocked this one out of the park!
Ramfins59 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 That is a beautiful truck Dennis... Great job.
mod3l Lover Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I loved this truck right from the start!! The hood and the grill mods are my favorite parts still. Ed's kool interior set is truly as good as it gets! His parts are so nice you almost hate to build them up!! LOL!! The only bad thing I can think of is, that it has not been boxed up for the shipping to my house!!!! ? David S.
SoDak1 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Sharp!!! With the white accents I'd call it root beer float lol
larman Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Beautiful work! Great stance, color, wheels and tires. Details are just right!!

Plowboy Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 You already know what I like about this old truck! So, I'll just add that I hope to see you do some more builds like this in the future!
