1937 Ford Pickup Street Rod

[Zippi]

This is Revell's latest release of the 1937 Ford Pickup truck.  Paint is Tamiya acrylic X-3 Royal Blue thinned with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner.  I cleared it with Tamiya X-22 Clear.  I wet sanded the paint and the clear and polished it with Meguiar's liquid wax. The rear and front suspension was modified to except the wheels & tires from the 1956 Ford Pickup Foose addition kit.  The bed was painted with FolkArt acrylic paint, Barn Wood & Raw Lumber.  The darker Raw lumber was dry brushed over the lighter Barn Wood. I made loom tubes that came from the distributor and ran up along the heads.  I thought the kit came out Super nice.  I'm calling it "Blue Suede Shoes".  Give me your thoughts fellows.

Nicely done. Very nice color and finish.   Glad to see you didn't have any of the drama you experienced in the last couple of builds.

Beautiful looking paint finish and the bed wood looks very realistic. I like how you detailed the engine and chassis.
