1958 Ford F 1000

The 50's trailer is available from Keystone Keystone Aluminum Model Miniatures 1/25 scale model truck parts Ronks (kamodelminis.com) Lots of great stuff. We really need to support these types of businesses if we want to get more of the stuff were looking for. It appears to be a 3D printed deal and will need some sanding. The trailer comes in 2 pieces and has some wood dowels to align and connect together.

Cool project. I like what you’ve done on the old Ford. Looking great

Finally  in the paint shop!  Will polish out when fully cured. Looks pretty close to  50's Esso's fleet colors. Still sanding the trailer, not bad, just takes extra time, luckily it does not need any pin hole filler, which is very nice.

Thanks Brian. Under glass pretty soon, still needs the fifth wheel and mudflaps. Will be using period Ford "crest" flaps.
