Aztec Warrior 1950 Ford custom Lowrider Pick up Finished Moved to Under Glass

Thanks Dave, While the paint is drying between coats doing some detail work on smaller stuff, the engine is painted and that I colored gold. Give it some contrast, but here is the overflow tank that I made and radiator cap, just have to glue other end of hose to cap.

the engine color, i was going to paint the truck this color but on a sample shoot i was not to happy with it but figured i would change it up a bit give some contrast under the hood.

a better pic of the hood mural and a decal that I had from a revell semi I decided to add to the bottom of the cabs floor board that could be seen underneath the truck.

The bed of the trailer, the bed of the truck will be the same with the taillights and pyramids on the tailgate.

engine drive shaft and the contrast with the root beer of the frame.


a little something I will be adding to front of the trailer....

Your creations tend to take on a life of their own. It's fun to watch them grow.

Darren you are doing an amaizing job! How do you modified the radiator that looks so real?

[Darren B]

Thank you Jose, scale auto magazine a while back had a how to in it on how to modify them, I believe it was nov 2013 but basically you cut out the inside of the radiator build up slats inside giving them a little space between them then glue detail master radiator face material over top of the slats on both sides. Its easy and looks a lot more realistic that way.

[Darren B]

Thanks James I am loving your version of this ford f100 i actually was going to weather mine thinking it would look cooler with the foam pieces but went the root beer route after all.

[hjracing]

Thanks Darren, and I'll keep an eye on your builds!

[Darren B]

Jose, cool yeah after i finish this one the next two are already in the wings, the strippers delight and the Egyptian raider, the egyptian raider I will try to top the Aztec warrior.
