gatorincebu Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Really cool build you have going on here! I like it. Be Well Gator
mustang1989 Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) The finish you end up with is among the best I've seen Tim! Lookin' good pal! Edited April 2, 2015 by mustang1989
taaron76 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks guys! The bed cover is just semigloss black. The roof and the bed cover was going to be pearl white, but I didn't like the way it turned out. Joe - Thanks buddy! It's a pet peeve of mine to have the best finish possible, but that compliment goes a long way because there are so many great finishers in this site. Tim
taaron76 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 More progress finished up tonight, just some of the hidden details and chassis for the most part. I still want the clear coat to clear for a few more days before I started to wet sand and buff. That gives me time to focus on the little things. Chassis and suspension is complete and most of the engine bay details. The only major thing left is the interior... I wanted to use the NASCAR exhaust pipes, but they went right over the top of the fuel tank... figured that wasn't the best idea, so I made some exhaust for another kit.
taaron76 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 Details inside the engine bay... This kit had 3 options to choose from for the grill, but I liked this one the best. It's not mounted yet, just mocked up.
mustang1989 Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I like the use of the electric fan Tim and the grill is looking good in there as well.
taaron76 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 I like the use of the electric fan Tim and the grill is looking good in there as well. Thanks Joe! I wanted to use the original radiator,so the electric fan seemed like the best option since I couldn't get the fan assembly from the stock and NASCAR assemblies to fit right. Welcome back! Tim
hjracing Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 wow! Great build so far! Can you tell me where do you find those wheels?
taaron76 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 Tim nice work on the engine bay and front grill. Thanks Dan! Tim
taaron76 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 wow! Great build so far! Can you tell me where do you find those wheels? Those wheels came from the Revell 1964 (Calfiornia Wheels) Impala SS 2'N1 kit. I wound up using different wheels on that build and these wheels fit the truck perfectly. Tim
slusher Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Great looking engine bay and grill. i like the electric fan, nice modern touch...
taaron76 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 This one is just about Under Glass. Door handles, locks and a couple of touch-ups tomorrow and a little wax and it will be complete. Tim
mustang1989 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Wow Tim, that is a great looking truck. Awesome F-100! I really like it! They already said it Tim....................
taaron76 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks for the compliments, guys. Hopefully I will have it finished up tonight and get to snap a few more pics of it completed. I'm trying to get it ready for the MAMA's meeting on Saturday. This will be the first one that I've ever been to. I'm excited to see others models, as well as show a couple of my previous builds. Tim
