Ford Pickup '53 Cutmelow

[Reuhkapelti]

Hi there!

Here's a slightly different pickup, started as a '53 Ford.

I've chopped the top, sectioned the body and the frame got some z-ting. The bed is also shortened and the rear fenders are wider than original.

It's got a air-ride suspension both front and rear.

The big V8 has got twin turbo with required tubing. In the back there's a compressor for the air-ride with a pressure container.

Thanks for viewing my model from Finland.

Yes, very nice indeed! Is that a Buick Rivera grill I see there?

Well done Finland and welcome to MCM forum.

Thanks! The grill is a combination of a custom grill taken from a '64 Chevelle. I just planted the headlights on it. SS-R Chevy gave that upper part of the grill, plus a wheel spinner in the center, covering the GM logo.

Great job on a well detailed build. Great job on your body work..

[Greg Cullinan]

Very awesome. Are the superchargers available for sale? While I'm bugging you, where did the wheels come from? Again great build and thanks in advance.

[Reuhkapelti]

Thanks again! The turbos are selfmade. Ofcourse the are aftermarket chargers available, but I didn't find any big enough. The wheels are modified by taking the center off and turned the rims inside out, so I could get this wide style offset.

I like this! Reuhkapelti does always great job with his models and always suprices with unusual ideas and unique conversions.

I think it's a very interesting combination of parts and style, not fond of the wheels personally though. I was hoping you might post more pics of the grille area? From the photo angles you posted, it's really hard to see how it looks and how you shaped that part.
