1955 Ford F-100 Street Rod

[Zippi]

Fellows...I don't think there is any more I can do with this one so here it is fresh off the bench this morning.  If you fellows remember, this one was painted 3 time.  The final paint was Tamiya TS-14 Black and it was cleared with Splash Paints 2K Urethane clear then wet sanded and waxed.  This is the drop chassis from the Iceman with wheels & tires from Jay's.  The Ford FE COBRA 427 Tunnel Ram engine is from Texas 3D Customs and wired.  The air tank and compressor was scratch built.  The fuel cell in the bed came with the drop chassis.  The chassis was modified to fit the 55 body and the wheels & tires.  All the chrome is airbrushed with the chrome from a Molotow pen except the windshield trim which is bmf.  Tell me what ya think fellows.

Beautiful looking finishes everywhere you look on this. Saw the frustration this build put you through in your WIP, but you won.

Looks great from where im sitting Bob. 

Well done. Like all the engine detail work and the air set up in the bed.

And of course you know I like the colour combo. My favourite.

 

Your perseverance paid of, good on you for soldiering on and getting it done. Many of us would have gave up and moved on to the next.

You definitely drug this one kicking and screaming to the finish line. Looks awesome.

That chrome looks great. Did you clear the chrome with anything?

Haha...yeah, I had to beat this one like a red-headed stepchild to get it to except that paint.  It's still giving me dirty looks ?.  I did not clear the Molotow chrome but I let it set for a few days.  I call it my "Howie Mandel" chrome, it doesn't like to be touched.
