I purchased the files from Cults3d and printed them myself. If you have a 3d printer, the designers are MCS-Design (engine) zforcemodelworks (wheel/tire)
Sledsel Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Nice. I keep looking at getting that kit but I do not like the pancaked hood. Anyone know if the older Revell hood fits?

Nice to see what their stuff looks like when printed.

Anyone know if the older Revell hood fits? It doesn't fit. This kit is sectioned through the cowl, so any stock hood ends up a mile taller than the cowl

A couple people have tried their hand at turning the body back to stock since the original Revell 56 has quite a few issues. It doesn't take a ton of work, especially if you study the info on what Foose's crew did to alter the truck, and then do those things in reverse.

Use the hood and fenders from the ERTL 53 F100. {They are much more correct then the old 56 F100 Revell did. The Monogram 55 Ford F100 is also way incorrect.} That is how I did mine in my thread called "Defoosing the FD 100" near the top of the this section of WIPS. 1
AmericanMuscleFan Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Your 3D printed pieces are very nice, Jason.? I've probably asked you this before, but I assume you have an SLA printer? If so, do you have any problems with the parts, I've read in comments that the parts are more fragile and brittle than those produced with FDM technology and that they should not be exposed to direct sunlight. The possibilities of this technology are almost infinite and open the door to very interesting subject, I've been thinking about it for a while... more toys for the workbench...?
Zippi Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Nice looking. The wheels and engine looks great.
streetmachine11 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Posted February 8, 2023 digging this one out and getting it back on the bench. hoping to keep on this one till completion removed the chrome from the kit parts and prepared for paint. removed parting lines and primered the body. now wetsanded ready for paint thanks for lookin! questions/ comments always welcome
NOBLNG Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 Yes, great start! Boy those 3d printers are sure a game changer.? 2

Anyone know if the older Revell hood fits? Try the Ertl 53 Ford hood. The old Revell hood, body and fenders are very incorrect relative to the 1:1 F100. The Ertl 53 Ford F100 is the best. The Monogram 55 F100 is also way out of scale.
streetmachine11 Posted February 10, 2023 Author Posted February 10, 2023 started painting today. after scribing panel lines and prepping the body ive sprayed the main color. working on the exterior trim and frame. engine and suspension next 2
streetmachine11 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 small update... everything has been painted and cleared. now time to start the assembly process. but I just couldn't resist a mock-up thanks for looking. more soon. comments/questions always welcome 5
AmericanMuscleFan Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Huum! It's great Jason, it's promising. The rims fit perfectly with this little truck and the color is perfect! ?
speedy5963 Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 Looking good, like the changes and engine looks killer in there.
jaftygas Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 That truck is pretty sweet. Cool color, motor and intake.
Zippi Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 These are Great kits and the mockup looks Super Clean. Love that deep blue color and the printed parts.
streetmachine11 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Posted October 9, 2023 I wrapped up this build before the last GSL. All kit chrome was stripped and airbrushed with molitow liquid chrome along with the resin engine parts, exhaust and wheel barrels. A light sand and polish Here are the final pictures I was happy to make it to the GSL for their final show. And took a handful of cars to show. Finally got to meet and see some members here and their work in person. 3
