50's Ford flatbed barn find

[Baugher Garage]

Found this old beast parked in a pole barn (OK, I made it, but pretending's part of the hobby, right?)

Very cool. How'd you do the window?

Very nice. Like the hubcaps on the beam. I love beaters.

This is way cool, very convincing weathering! I love the old barn setting too. Great work.

Thanks all! I started doing weathered cars when I realized I didn't have the skills to turn out a good shiny paint job. From there I just kinda developed a liking for rust buckets and barn finds. Most if the time I start with a coat of red oxide primer, some overspray of brown textured rust oleum then start painting with acrylics. The windshield was done with a drill, xacto knife and sand paper.

And yea, let's restore it!!

Restore it looks like a good project.
