another mock up to see how its turning out, this last photo shows how the original dash will show on either side of the console and will be body color...

Another mock-up of the pickup and bed, getting there, it will look better when I get all the designs engraved in the foam and the foam painted for the tops of the bed, and some of the sides in the bed of the trailer are darker than other as they were not painted at the same time but I think overall when its complete and all the other pieces of bones and things I have planned for it are installed I think it will look ok. It looks a hell of a lot better when its in person and not on camera. A few more pieces and then I will concentrate on getting all the body work smoothed out and then finally get some color on the body. Then the foam pieces should pop rather good with the gold contrast.

Thanks guys, no real big updates today, I did get the pieces painted for crossover on the rear of the frame on both the bed and the main pick up frame, also a photo etch stereo and scale cds for the center console.

Thanks DogFish7,
havent had a chance to work on it but did get the running board pieces glued together and ready for paint, and working on a real working knock off for the rims so I can show off the disk brakes and undercarriage work. Pics of that to come sometime..... have a lot of work so been busy at work....

I was going thru an estate sale and came across a container of old bits of pottery. An Idea came to mind, build a diorama and use the broken pieces for the diorama so that is what ill do...

Great idea!

Re: Aztec Warrior 1950 Ford Lowrider Custom

Working on the wire wheels and creating working knockoffs. Only doing the front wheels so far unless I can figure out a way to embed the bolt without ruining the rear end since i already glued it to the frame.

Re: Aztec Warrior 1950 Ford Lowrider Custom

Thanks guys, not much of an update last night but did come up with an exhaust, the original exhaust would not fit with the treatment i did for the bracing for the bumper so i found some mega phone type jewelery bits in my stash that went over the cut off pipe. once painted i think will look pretty good.

Re: Aztec Warrior 1950 Ford Lowrider Custom

not much of an update, been working on smoothing out the bodywork, decided to fill in the openings in the hood, never like the hood on the 1950 ford, adding some resin pieces to the truck beds, and laying out some more resin pieces under the body.
