... Ya gotta stop, right?!?!

Ok, I withdraw my earlier statement.

This is a hard picture to get but I put some guages on the dash as well....

NOW you're just showin' off!

lol... and that's exactly what I feel like when I see paint on it!! I like the red but it doesn't say, "Hey, I have about 60 hours in this stupid car!"
Time to dip it in acid!!

The first thing that I thought was that the nice shiny restored wood bed wouldn't really go with a patinaed body, but then I remembered this bad boy:


and sorta changed my mind.

The bed is very easy to pull out so if it does look goofy I can change it pretty easy.


I tried to rough up the paint for an aged look but I still didn't like the look.....


Now I'm letting it rust before I seal the body. This was about two hours after I stripped the paint, should look pretty good by monday.

I didn't like the look of the truck as a rusty heap so I've re-painted a little and will continue the rust process.... it's trial and error so who know's what I'll end up with.








I painted a "Ford" on the tailgate...

I wanted a logo on the door but couldn't really think of anything...ended up with this implied airplane or airport type logo.
I'm thinking I might need to add some paint/rust to the headlights and a few other areas for a little contrast...!?!?

[CGCINC]

I decided to do the red color to match my "decor" in my computer room at home.
I've spent enough time on this thing so this will be the final pictures...

Nice work. I like the finish work.

talked to a local vinyl guy and he is able to print the "Ford Motor Co." logo on the picture above so that will be the final logo.

This is awesome!

Finally had my logo stickers made for the doors.

This was the photo shopped version...


And this is the new logo sticker on the door.... It's a little smaller than I wanted so I might have them enlarged.

That's way too cool. If you put this much work into a model, i can't wait to see what it looks like when you build a full-size rod!
so awesome.
