Chris guthro Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Real nice job!! That deck looks nice!! Good job with the alclad to!
cruz Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks Chris but it's not Alclad, didn't want to use it for this application......
bpletcher55 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 NO WAY MARCOS IS BUILDING A TRUCK ,? sweet build dude ,you are a man of meany talents ,
cruz Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks guys. They are not metal pins, got them at Michael's. They are actually flexible plastic and covered in chrome with a ball at the end instead of being flat headed.....
cruz Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 Got some primer and color on this thing. Once the paint is dry, I will expose the emblems and bare metal foiled letters just as I did at the primer stage. I will finish with a few coats of clear!
cruz Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Purchased a really cool decal sheet at the club meeting last Saturday. This sheet contains some really nice logos and useful info for any kind of truck.
afx Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Good choice on the logo. That's what I would have chosen.
tbill Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 fantastic looking! great work as usual, this should be a stunner when done.
cruz Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Worked on some bare metal foil details and painted the black trim around the windows. Glass is installed.
cruz Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 Apparently, some people have either their eyesight discombobulated or they just don't know much about scale. Got these cool looking metal pipes through ebay for the flatbed and they turned out to be too big.... And yes, the seller has them as 1/24 scale pipes but I don't even think they will work on a 1/16 scale model.....
Petetrucker07 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 It might just be because its a smaller cab. 8 inch stacks are big. Ive bought a bunch of the 8 inch and the a few of the 10 inch. The 8s look spot on, on my 359s and my cabover.
Jim B Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Those are the big, goofy-looking, custom stacks that are popular on Large-Car custom trucks. I agree with you, they would be out of place on a Ford LN8000 work truck. Stick with either the 5" stack or the grass-burner exhaust.
Trucker Al Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I love those stacks! cant wait to see the finished product!
Mackvision Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I'm with Jim on the smaller stacks,or "weedburner" exaust,pretty un-usual to see a 1:1 Ford with stacks anyway...........................................Mark
kilrathy10 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Still, though....This one is coming along nicely.....
cruz Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 Nothing in the picture is glued yet, still doing some mockups here and there but I am liking the color on the cab and the way it all looks together!
