53 Ford Pick-Up

[Taxdude]

This is my 53 Ford pick-up. It is the first model that i had finished in quite a while.

I guess that I'll have to change my signature now.

Real nice! excellent paint. Im working on a 65 chevy pickup right now. Say, is that a HEMI?

No it's a Ardun head conversion for the flathead.

Nice truck and good engine choice. First Ardun I ever saw with a high rise manifold like that.

What a very clean build. I like the seat pattern decal and the beading around the rear fenders. Nice touches.

LOVE the stance!

You just can't tuck wheels far enough up into the front fenders on those fat trucks!

For the intake i was going for the look of an intake that might have been sold by a small

speed shop advertising in the back of a early rod magazine. Needless to say the intake and

the air cleaner were both scratch built. On the intake the hardest part was getting all 8 of the

intake runners to line-up correctly on the plenum.

Great build and photography. How did you create the blue to gray/white lighting in the background?

[Jantrix]

Great work.

The background came from a camera shop. It's 20"x30" and it came in either white to blue and

white to dark gray.
