56 F100 TWIN CAB: A totally different take on the Foose Pick-up

[Claude Thibodeau]

Hi!

Had a few copies of the Foose F100 leftover parts, so why not try to create something different? 

Take two cabs, join them at the rear door cut line, stretch the roof and transform the hood of the rear unit into a trunk lid, with a covered bed to carry stuff in style. Throw in a custom take on the grille and  headlights + tail lights. The frame was lenghtened to fit the new wheelbase, and the second bench seat was used for the rear unit. The tailgate and rear box were scratchbuilt, as are the mirrors, runninboard, distributor, rear tie rods, disc brakes and trailer hitch. Tamya's bright orange was covered with clear red and clear pearl + Mr. Hobby Top coat clear, fully polished. Molotow's and Revell spray chrome accents. 

My local model club has a theme at this coming fall show that requires "odd creations". Might qualify...

Hours of fun with styrene!

Very creative body work and the paint finish looks great on this build.

Awesome crazy Claude. Great use of leftover parts. Always a pleasure to look at your creations.

Love it! I have a similar project that's stalled, but uses two Bumpside cabs.

Really like front end treatment. Kinda reminds me of the 1966 Batmobile.

Cool!

Hi Chuck!

Thanks for the comments. It's hard to "improve" on the front end of the F100, you have to settle fo "different" LOL.

Hi Steve!

Good to hear from you! "Slightly twisted mind" ? Hmmmm... My wife would argue that it's " massively twisted". Oh well....
