Custom 50 Ford truck

[59impala]

This is a 50 Ford truck that I got from one of the guys in our club.  The cab is resin.  The bed and front end are from a newer kit.  I'm not sure of the year of the newer Ford.  He started to build this and lost interest in it.  Well, I did change the front end a tad to make it look a little better to my eyes anywho.  It has a flat head with Ardun heads and the paint is a Gold pearl over gray.  I fergot that the grill is made from a speaker grill.

Nice! I've done the '50 Ford kit and enjoyed it.

Very cool save! The whole front end came out super nice. Really good looking truck.

Thanks guys. The guy I got this from started to customize it and gave up. He kinda messed up the hood and I don't have another one so I just used what I had. If I ever get another hood, I'll work on it and use it because this one doesn't fit very well.  Here are a few more pics of it.  I used the Ardun heads with the three carbs and I used 320 sandpaper for the anti skid surfaces on the rear bumper and the side steps.  I also made the Ford trim for the tail gate.  I also made the F O R D letters for the hood but I don't have a picture of the hood with them on it.

That sandpaper idea is pretty cool. Looks great. And Cherry Bombs? Did you make those or buy them?

Steve, I think they were in the kit of the 50 Ford truck. The custom one because it has the Ardun heads and speed equipment.
