Just finished today. I shaved the body and filled in the fuel cap area, lowered it, and added a Buick GN V6. Paint is Rustoleum Sun Yellow over Mr Hobby primer.

Looks good! I like the Grand National engine!

That’s one sharp truck! I agree, nice touch with the Grand National engine.

Great looking little pickup.  I like the engine swap.

I also like the Buick Grand National engine and it looks like some of the front suspension as well. Great looking paint and it sure is bright. Like the smooth look of the body.

Love that engine bay! Nice.

Well Randy, that is a super nice looking '53.    Kinda funny, my wife has a cousin named Randy Bray, lives in Pensacola.

Nice 53 Randy. That color looks great and the black interior gives it a tuff look. Love your engine choice, you definitely think outside the square. 

Cheers, David. ??

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I have been slowly building kits from my childhood that I messed up. This one is a replica of a build from the 90s, and I tried to replicate the look I was going for back then. The GN engine is from another one from around the same time that was broken at some point. You can see the Testors Chezoom Teal paint on the block that matched the car lol

Fantastic looking Ford!
