Irvin Arter Jr. Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I traded MJ for this truck. It has a shortened bed and was two tone painted when I got it so I am going for the "Daily driver" look. I added a blue sharpie pin stripe on both sides. I Alcladded the front and rear bumpers and grill. Used Revell's 32 Ford wheels with a gray wash. I still have to install the engine. I am using the stock block but, the heads and all other stuff is from the Revell 32 Ford. more photos at the link below http://public.fotki.com/IrvinArterJr/irvin...0_ford_pick_up/ ENJOY!
Mj-Styro Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 That looks cooooooooooooool! Gotta see how you do your alclad............mine doesnt come out that shiny!!! and i have tried everything!
Irvin Arter Jr. Posted September 21, 2006 Author Posted September 21, 2006 thanks guys! I buffed the Alclad with a Q-tip it made it a little more shiny before I added the black wash
Andy Wyatt Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Very cool! How did you do the Sharpie trick? I could see a real mess if I had tried that!
Irvin Arter Jr. Posted September 21, 2006 Author Posted September 21, 2006 I used a fine tipped one and i taped a straight edge to the side of the body. Who ever painted the truck had his edge a little crooked on the front but, it looks OK from 5 feet or so!
Casey429 Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Nice Ride! I rather see something like this in Hot Rod magazine that those $150,000 showpieces (not that they're bad, daily drivers are just cooler).
walt francis Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 :wink: That's going to kick start some pickup projects.
MikeBoyle Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Awesome! One of the cleanest '60's I've seen in a while. Reminds me I need to get this one finished.
Ayatollah Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Is that the Modelhaus one or the old annual? I have both and they do look like different lengths. It looks great, though! Popular bodystyle lately! http://cgi.ebay.com/1960-Ford-F100-pick-up...1QQcmdZViewItem
Eric C Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 That's really a nice looking truck. I like the color choices and the wheels look great!
James W Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Very nice truck! 8) I like your take on the engine. By adding modern detailed parts to the kit block you get easy assembly and a good looking engine compartment when it's all done. That's what I like about plastic, a razer saw and a good file make anything glue together and you don't even have to buy a gasket set!
