1953 Ford Flip Nose Pickup

Well here it is the Flip nose is done. I will say this was not a very good kit. The nose is hard to work with. The wheel and tires don't center in the wheel wells and the detail leaves quite a bit to be desired.

What was fun was the fact that some many people built this kit and one time and the different ways they all turned out. The Forum Project made it fun. Here you go.














Thanks for looking in. All questions and comments are welcome.

Hey Buck, you took a "not very good kit" and turned it into something to be proud of. Nice job.

Thank ya, John.

I remember this as a group build back in the old SR days and you are right, attrocious fit on the flipnose and a so so kit at best. I built mine as a rat gasser.

You did a good job with it though Buck.

Yes Al, I made my own hinges for the flip nose. I couldn't get it right with the kit hinges, So craft beads and wire to the rescue.

That's a Beauty :!:

Thanks guys.

very nice Buck
