greymack Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well I have custom built a 1955 Ford F800 it turned out pretty good.It was alot of work since I used 2 kits to build this on.I also used a dodge L700 frame and stretched it.I used most the 55 ford kit to build it.Well everyone have a look. http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view¤t=001-5.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view¤t=001-6.jpg Some more pics http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view¤t=002-4.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view¤t=003-5.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view¤t=002-5.jpg The finished truck http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view¤t=003-6.jpg http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc454/pigirondude/?action=view¤t=001-7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUFF TIN Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 This is a neat project and you did a lot of work on the fenders but if you would widen the tire opening it would make a more truer look. Most of the difference in a F-100 and the bigger trucks is the size of the wheel well opening. I don't want to seem like I'm picking on your work.................. just saying.

cdnmodman Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Greymack, Nice job !! Have any pics of the fenders as a WIP when you widened them out. Lot of time put into this one for sure. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
