Amt 34 ford pick up

[TNT]

Picked this up on sale. While i was laid up got to looking at it thought i liked the blue n yellow sunoco pic. After getting into the box i did not care for any of the pics. Think i was watching welder up the main guy was cruising the dessert for old cars and i thought how cool would that be. Then it hit me. If i found this cab in the dessert or maybe a old field out here what would i do. Chop the top, channel the cab. Thought about doing the Z frame but i want this one to ride kind of high. Then to challenge my self i said only paints in vallejo's rust, stain, n streaking paint set.    

The main color is rust wash it took a lot to get the paint solid looking. But their are 8 colors to use. The wheels are not set in stone i may try some spokes on the front. And i would like a in line 4 or 6 cylinder, may have to dig around and see if i have any. 

Think i found my donor motor. It is a ford courier super stones. Now to get it out without breaking anything.

That's going to look pretty sharp.  I like those big ole meats for the rear.

Thanks. Thought the big tires and putting the tow hook in the bed might be cool.

Yeah it would be rough on a 4 cylinder to push the bigger tires. Also the detail in the 4 cylinder may be a little clunky for a open engine bay.

Thanks. Wife is on P.T.O.  for a while so building has slowed.

Did get some more done.  Going to try and use the centrifugal charger from the 63 ford pick up with the camper top. The front rims are from the revell 37 pick up still need backs.

 

 

 

the radiator will lay back but not that close.

Need to run a gas line to the carb and install a bed floor or the cover. Tailgate is too warped to use. Needs headlights n tail lights.
