1955 Ford Panel Truck

[Zippi]

This is the Revell Harley-Davidson '55 Ford Panel Truck.  I got this one finished yesterday.  Suspension has been modified to get the low stance.  I printed out the wheels & tires and kept scaling them up until I got the size the filled up the wheel wells and looked right.  I used the kit engine but replaced the 3 deuce setup with a 3D printed one I had on hand.  The Accel Coil and the master cylinder I printed out as well.  The inner portion of the wheels were painted with Tamiya Titanium Silver and the outer ring was painted with Rust-Oleum Chrome Metallic Finish as was the rest of the chrome on the truck.  I bmf the front, rear, and wing window trim.

G’day Bob, that is a sweet looking ride. Gun metal grey always looks good, and it sits real nice ‘n low. Lots to like with this one. 👍🏻
