59 Impala Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I converted the pickup into a stake bed. I used the stake bed from the 34 Ford kit and made a trailer out of the pickup bed. I had to scratch build the frame for the trailer and also the trailer hitch on the back of the truck. I used Sophisticated Finishes rusting solution for the rust. Also, I painted the truck flat red and rust with a touch of flat black. Same with the trailer. On the wheels of the truck I brushed some real rust on the white walls and then sprayed that with dull coat. For the chrome I used Alclad, kit chrome and the "new" chrome pen. The pen was used on the window trim and the FORD name on the front. The hood chrome is the Alclad and the rest is kit chrome. The tail lights on both the truck and trailer are from the parts box.I hope ya like it and thanks fer lookin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59 Impala Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks Dan. This was a quick build I needed to do and now I can get back to my "Tin Indians" and a couple of customs that I'm working on. Oh yeah, I'm also building the 77 Monte Carlo as a full detail with engine like the one I used to own back in the day. Except mine didn't have a 454 in it. I'm using parts from the 70 Impala to build this car. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
