Ford guy Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Nice! Love the "patina". Great looking truck.
Draggon Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Great work! The patina, especially on the door and bed side, looks real.
Greg Pugh Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Awesome job! I love how you weren't afraid to cut up a rare kit!

realgone58 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 That is perfect! Love the color and the patina! Also love the idea of the clean wheels and wide whites. Perfection, my friend!!!
Kris Morgan Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Very nice build Jason. The patina is very well done.
Chuck Most Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Nothing finer than a hot-rodded Ford pickem-up with a lived-in look.
Maindrian Pace Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Against the right background, that would look absolutely real. -MJS

plasticfrog Posted November 3, 2012 Author Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) I wanna see some more shots of this truck if possible. Also curious about how you did the rusting.. I primed it with red primer then painted it with rustolem labor blue from Wal-mart.I then wet sanded it with 800 grit til it showed the red primer. I had some issues come up on sanding it started showing the plastic so I took a brush and dabbed it from spraying red primer on a paper plate.I also used the weathering kit from Hobby Lobby called Sophisticated finishes.
