This one is done. I so much enjoyed this one. Parts from a few kits. This started as another 1940 ford pickup. It's #2 of 3. A lot of it ended up staying in the box because of what I did use.

1940 Ford Pickup
Bed - 1934 Ford Pickup
Frame - R&D Deuce metal Frame
Extras from different other kits, parts box and aftermarket brands - Skulls, Moon tank, radiator& cap, hoses, tailgate chains, taillights, headers, stacks, headlights, steering wheel, dash details, ignition coil and strap, rims and tires
Scratch built or homemade - wiring, bed floor, headlight brackets, taillight brackets, steering wheel column, seat cover and firewall electrical boxes

I think that's it. Here are the pics

Wow. I'm flattered guys. I don't post on here much because lots of my builds don't seem to fit but knowing your level of skill, it means a lot.

Bert, it's a half-baked version of the the salt technique. Id be happy to share more. PM me.

You really kicked the snot out of that old body, great work. Like all the details listed,it all comes together. I like the staining on the exhaust pipes and injector stacks. I think a box of bandaids will be needed after someone misses a shift and nails the roof, LOL.
Cheers Eh!
