Scratch Lake Pipes for the F-100 with caps cut from a set that didn't fit the truck. Just tacked on at this point...

Bling, Bling, It's Got Bling!! Looking good John! As a real Slab-Side lover I dig that color, it was one of the colors I was considering on my '57 Box Truck. Back to the palette to mix up another swell color... LoL!
Have you decided on what you're doing with the interior bucket yet? The Foose '56 FD-100 P/U interior bucket fits nicely inside the '57 to '60 F-100 cab. Only a slight bit of stretching needed at the dashboard area. (Hot water did the trick for me.) The '57 - '60 dash fits nicely with a slight bit of trimming of the Foose interior bucket. This alone opens up a whole new world of interior options from updated to classic Old Skool Cool! I've always found that the AMT interior bucket was rather thick with everything molded in like it is. Hey just a thought to get your creative juices flowing!

I'm sticking with the kit interior for this one, with a paint scheme to compliment the exterior.

I'm sticking with the kit interior for this one, with a paint scheme to compliment the exterior. That's cool, I've seen the original interior bucket dolled up with just paint to all sorts of upholstery treatments they all look really good too. I mentioned the FD100 bucket because that's the starting point I'm using on the (Modelhaus) '57 that I have been working on. I felt that the stock bucket was a bit thick and clunky to try doing tuck-n-roll. So, when I wandered across an FD100 bucket for cheap on eVilbay I thought I'd give it a shot, it worked so well that's what I decided to use. So when I see another modeler building a Squarebody F100 I give them a hint, "hey you know what fits...", I'm not fazed a bit by them using it or not. Got you to sorta think about it though, that's what this model building thing is all about, one guy telling the other where to find some tastier breadcrumbs along the way! I know others have helped me many times to see and do things to my projects that made them better.
