Chopped/channeled 50 Ford Custom Pickup

Wow! Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear... you made that ugly old truck down right beautiful!   I'm taking notes as I'm doing a custom 55 F-100 at the moment.

Thanks! lol Yeah, in factory stock form it is NOT a handsome truck ? A proper 'shave and haircut' and 'nipping and tucking' in the right places with the right amounts makes for an appealing overall impression I think. Can you tag me on your F100 progress? I'd love to see what you do with it! ?

Very nice! Love the color, and the custom exhaust really stands out too!

Looks like it just rolled right off the cover of an early Rod & Custom mag. Nice job!

Thanks very much! The body color is Testors Extreme lacquer Gold under satin clear. The interior is pearl white under matte clear. I made the exhaust pipes from solid aluminum rod (it bends better than tubing) ?

Thank you! I studied a few of the custom pickups that were in some of those old magazines for inspiration! ?
