Purple 'n Pearl - 1934 custom pickup

[Spex84]

Love it! The raised shape in the tailgate is so 50s, and the curved tuck-n-roll inserts fit the period so well. That pearl is just right; I'm somewhat surprised that a modern color could actually work for a late 50s show truck. I've often looked at those mirrors and thought they'd make cool taillights so it's fun to see them employed as such on this truck.  I have my own 50s '34 build that desperately needs finishing. Maybe this week I can wrap it up.

Thanks, Spex! I'm glad you're enjoying it and I'll look forward to seeing your finished truck.

Manuel, I don't know how I missed this post, but what a beautiful piece of craftsmanship! I took the liberty of sharing the link to it for Faux-vivor Friday on the Scale Survivors Group.  The more I look at it, the more eye candy I see. Great eye for detail.  Beautiful!

The headlight treatment is reminiscent of the 1954 Buick Wildcat II. Very Cool!
