1953 Ford Pickup Truck

[ModelcarJR]

I haven't been on this forum for about a month because on or about November 20th, I received a message from this website that it had been hacked and the forum was moving to new servers. Ever since then I have been trying to log on with no result other than timing out. I got in touch with someone else on the site and he said it was working. So, I had to call the Geek Squad to get me back on this website. Strange to say the least. But I still have been busy building and here is an AMT 1953 Ford Pickuap that I don't think was posted before, at least I can't find it. Basically built box stock except for the tires and wheels, plus I added Mexican blanket seat covers. I use these Halibrand style big wheels because they had plenty of surface to glue the wheels to the hups where I thought they should go, not necessarily where the axles are. Other than that, it went together pretty well. Paint is Tamiya Coral Blue. Thanks for looking! 😎

Beautiful paint finish and color. Like how you used the kits custom grill and rear fenders. Great looking bed wood and engine detailing.

Beautifully done!

I tell you what John, that's a good looking Ford pickup.  The chrome wheels just pop against the Coral Blue.

Thanks, everyone! I appreciate your comments and I am sorry that I haven't posted but I have been unable to reach Modelcarsmag. for about two months except intermittently. I am at a Best Buy store right now accessing the website. I am getting a new modem tomorrow at home so I hope that fixes the problem. I'll be back! 😎
