'61 Ford Pickup

[RodBurNeR]

This is a built up i bought off ebay awhile back in a lot. I was not aiming for this truck in particular, but i recently decided to tackle it for a local contest coming up. The contest has a theme for "cars and trucks with the year ending in "1". I put myself a 2week deadline and will be done in time. This is how it looked when i got it and then how it is in "mockup".

That's a great save on a very rare Ford- I believe they made the Uniside for only '61 and '62. Sure wish I had a time machine so I could go back and rescue that one from my misspent youth (as opposed to my misspent adulthood). Love the color, and the wheels set it off.

Thank you! This is fun to rebuild old junkers I have this 1961 and a 1963 as well. 1961-63 all had unibody. I don't think they made a '64 kit? If they did , i will get one eventually lol

I just signed up a couple of days ago Bob. I was getting bored so I decided to join a few more boards and couldn't think of a better one than here.
