Monogram 1955 Ford F-100 Kustom

[Dan Hay]

This kit was the subject of a YouTube Group build. It's chopped, sectioned, front wheel openings moved forward, and other custom touches. Tamiya maroon and clear on the roof, Testors Extreme Lacquer Gold and same brand clear on the body. 59 Chevy front bumper, 56 T-Bird hood scoop, Y block from same T Bird kit, Decals inspired by Dennis Lacy

Great looking Kustom body work and paint. The T-Bird valve covers look perfect for the Y Block engine.

Nice! I don't think that old Monogram kit has ever looked so good.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Nice proportions, not too radical on the chop, good choices on the rest of the custom mods. I like it.

Thanks fellas!  Yeah the kit is a turd, but it was a good challenge and a reminder than you can polish a turd!

Looks really really good!!!! I have heard the kit is a turd, but you would not know it looking at this build! Great job!

Thanks guys! It was a fun and challenging build but I’m done with F-100s for the foreseeable future.

Great build! Very tasteful custom touches ? I painted my custom 50 Ford pickup the same color AND made similar exhaust pipes for it! Great minds think alike they say ?

Awesome looking truck! Looks very period correct.
