Chip Foose FD-100 Pickup

[jasoncamaro]

Hi everyone 
Ive recently started work on Revell’s Foose FD-100 pick up . I’m just doing a oob build no aftermarket parts just a simple build 

[Biggu]

wow , Nice clean build, looking great !

It’s a nice kit that goes together very well. Enjoy!

Looks good. That's a great kit.

Great looking chassis and engine.

Looking good, Jason!  I see you eliminated the front axle like I did to mine.  Someone tried telling me that you can't see the axle and I told them they were wrong.  You can definitely see the axle from the bottom front of  the chassis.

Looks nice so far...

Sharp work, one of the best kits I've built in awhile .

Thanks for the comments everyone. mrmike I actually only mocked it up with the wheels on I’ve since painted the centres , I need to post and update but I’m going to take your advise and mount the front wheels without the axle

Looking like a nice, clean build so far. I definitely need to pick one of these kits up.

Absolutely! It comes close to falling together and the chassis / drivetrain is just begging to go under different bodies!

Lose the front axle and make front shocks. Will look way better. That's what I did with mine.

I've seen a ton of them both in this forum and on the Facebook groups that I'm in and I don't think I've seen a bad one done yet. Never get tired of seeing them either, just a great looking kit!

I totally agree!

Finally had the time to post an update. I ended up masking the rims with bare metal foil and painting the centre’s with a mix of couple of Testors metalizers . I also finished of the interior, I just have to prime and paint the cab and tray now . The weather isn’t the greatest here in New Zealand at the moment so I might try and get it painted in the spray booth at work.
