'57 Ford Pickup Conversion Started

[bobss396]

I jumped into this a couple weeks back. I'm using the AMT '60 Ford pickup and the Foose '53-ish truck kit. I'm also using a '57 conversion from Texas 3D. The hood needs work, but he is remastering it.

A lot of slice & dice work with all the woes along the way. I added the rear 4-link and have a bed interference.

The bed is shortened 22 scale inches. I made the bed floor from diamond plate stock. Gas tank is a Norm Veber item. Wheels & tires from VCG Resins. 

The interior is done, less arm rests and window handles.

Great looking design and like how you raised the bed floor only where needed in the center instead of all the way across as normally seen.

Looking good.

Curious what the issue is with the Texas 3D hood? I have one currently in the mail so I want to know what I need to fix.

That shift handle is a conversation starter. Rest of the interior looks great too.

I believe it was a VCG Resins piece. Thanks. I have some window handles and arm rests from ESS Resinworks. No part pictures of the window handles, they are hard to see.

I had to relieve part of the bed do the 4-link and coilovers had clearance. The bed cover hides everything anyway.
