NitroMarty Posted Monday at 04:59 PM Posted Monday at 04:59 PM (edited) I started with the Revell Foose 56 F100, built mostly box stock... Changes include tweaking the stance just a bit, modifying the kit wheels to accept those large diameter Arrowhead Specialties Astro-Vette Moon style aluminum disc wheel covers. Other additions were the tonneau cover from AMT's '53 F100 kit (shortened 1/8"), and stock style taillights and stock rear bumper from Revell's old tool '56 F100. Paints used are all Tamiya.... Chrome Yellow, Racing White, and Semigloss Black.... Decals are from Mr. Model. Under hood changes were limited to a MAD pre-wired distributor and Altered States Cadillac air cleaner... Any good shop truck needs to earn it's keep, so this one is being put to work as tow vehicle for a little land speed streamliner... The mini streamliner is a resin copy of the one originally found in AMT's '63 F100 annual kit. It was cast solid, so the cockpit had to be ground out so it could be fitted with a small seat and steering wheel/dash from the parts stash. Exhaust trumpets are actually short injector tubes from Parts By Parks. Decals are, again, from Mr. Model as well as some markings that I drew up on my computer. The trailer comes from a Revell Midget Racer kit and was modified with wider ramps and MOON aluminum disc wheel covers from Scale Repros. Edited Monday at 05:37 PM by NitroMarty 10

espo Posted Monday at 06:07 PM Posted Monday at 06:07 PM Beautiful looking finishes and colors. Every pickup has to have a "pull toy" and this one is perfect. Having owned two different '56 F-100's in the past I'm more than a little partial to them. 1
Dragonhawk1066 Posted Monday at 09:50 PM Posted Monday at 09:50 PM Very nice! The mini streamliner and trailer are a great looking addition as well! 1
stavanzer Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago This is Awesome, Marty! A really fine example of Top Quality Craftsmanship. The trailer and mini-streamliner are the perfect additions. Good Show. 1
