665@213 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Hello Folks. This is my F100 Ive been working on for about 3 years now. It started as an out of the box Sunstar 65 F100. Now this is what I have ......... All comments welcome!!
Harry P. Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Looks great! More pics please Yeah, especially what's under that hood.
665@213 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the compliments. The engine is from a 1:18th scale top fuel hydro. the inner fenders, radiator support & bottom of the firewall are all scratchbuilt with styrene. Scratchbuilt bed floor & wheeltubs, battery box, & battery charging posts. Edited July 13, 2012 by 665@213
SuperStockAndy Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Awesome is all I have to say. I also like that you added charging posts, a commonly skipped detail on drag cars.
plasticbutcher Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 That looks killer, btw what scale is that-- and wher can I get one ???
AzTom Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Cool! That is one wild ride. Great job on the transformation. AzTom
Chuck Most Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Nice! Didn't know Sun Star made one of these- I'll have to get one now.
george 53 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Ya had me till ya said "SunStar". I only build 25th (SOMETIMES 24th) scale ,so I hadn't seen a 65 Ford pickup in 25th/24th scale(other than Motor City Resin, which I have). 1/18th is too big for me but you sure PROVED you can make a REALLY KILLER model in 18th scale! I've got about 30 of those 18th scale Die Casts, and my Grandson can beat em up pretty well, so he'll get 'em!!! You built a GREAT lookin model!!!
jeffs396 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Welcome Jeremiah!!! Great work on your Ford pickup!
jerseyjunker1 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 excellent work and not over done i love this ara of trucks.
665@213 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 Thanks for the kind words everybody. Its not done by far. The truck only has some self-etching primer on it right now. i have the paint for it already. It's 2 factory Ford colors. The bottom will be 1961 Desert Gold. Kinda reminds me of Chevy's Butternut Yellow, only a little paler. & the top above the trim will be 2007 Ford Performance White, a very bright white. Not exactly sure how to do the floor inside, flocked or aluminum. Maybe a mixture of both, flocked floors & aluminum trans tunnel & inner firewall. Hewre's a pic of Don Hardy's 61 Ranch Wagon in Desert Gold: I think it'll look pretty neat in those colors. That looks killer, btw what scale is that-- and wher can I get one ??? Thanks!! The truck is 1:18th scale.
