Chariots of Fire Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 This project is now finished. I got the cab repainted so that the color matches the body. It didn't take as much work as anticipated but the door handles and such needed to be touched up. I got a new Molotow #1 pen to do the chrome. It came out nice! Door handles, gas cap, rear view mirror all have a great shine. Now it's on to the next save; this time a 1961 Ford pickup that came with the '60 Ford that was just finished. Same process all over again. Wash, pull apart, strip and repaint. Then re-assemble. Fun stuff. 2
espo Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Great job rebuilding this pickup. Enjoyed watching your progress and the colors look good on this. You mention an upcoming '61 rebuild. I'll want to watch that as well. I found an old box of projects from long ago. In there I found an original '61 Ford pickup kit that I tried to chop the top on and then put away.
Chariots of Fire Posted July 29, 2022 Author Posted July 29, 2022 I'll post some pics in the WIP section when I get started.
Street Rod Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 Came out great! Like that color on trucks of that era. I think they all had a similar version.
mchook Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 Great rebuild! I have a 60 & 61 too, I need to figure out how I want to do them. I kind of like the color combo on that 61.?
