Finally finished it. This came in yellow and I re-did it in silver. $20 for the L and $5 for paint. Now I can keep one in my room with me

 

 

looks good.....good job on it. How long did it take you to do ??

Looks good... I was gonna do the same thing, only not silver.

 

that looks great

what kind is it, and where did you get it?

 

Got it at wallmart (the only one they had). It took me 4-5hrs. minus the drying time. I did 2 coats of primer allowing several hours to dry each time and then 3 coats of mettalic silver. This comes dis-assembled and the body is practically ready to be painted. you just have to mask off the bed.

I will need to put some kind of clear coat on it now, not entirely sure what though. It will scratch pretty easy. So if you decide to do this do it before you put it togerther. I didnt realize it until it was to late.

Here is the box:

 

I bought mine a couple days ago too, but I painted it black! I'll take some pics later...

 

hey nice job...I bought one last week and painted it white, not as pretty as yours but I still had fun. I sanded mine down with my dremel and just put two coats of white on it, pics to come.

 

looks good...check that camber and that hood alignment

you didnt paint the mirrors

 

LOL....sorry man thats funny !!! Are you displaying that thing out in the sun

I scuffed up the yellow a little with 1200 and painted one coat with testors model paint ....


What was the primer for ???? keep corrosion down? fill those body work inperfections?



KB toys 13.99

 

they have them in white at Hobby Lobby...

 

Heck I dont know, I thought it would help the paint adhere or something. It made me feel real professional though

as far as the hood alignment I have contacted Ford and they refused my claim saying I modified it, geezz all I did was paint it.

 

 

You didn't have a smaller ratchet to put that thing together with......man you must have been delicate eh?

 

WHere's the black one?
