Very nice. I like the subtle grey color. Can i ask where the "Deuce Speed Shop" decals? Being a huge 32 ford fan, I need those in my life.
By the way, the finish on the Kart is incredible. Looking forward to seeing it finished!

Looking forward to seeing it finished! I did them myself. After I had taken some pictures I clear coated them and the decals where destroyed so I used other decals.

What trailer is that under the cart? Nice combo! Looks like the trailer from the Revell midgets from a few years ago.

Well that's too bad they didn't survive the clearcoat. they look really good If you figure out a way to print them I'd be interested in a set. Maybe one of the aftermarket decal guys would be interested in the artwork?

The truck is cool, and the kart looks like solid polished metal.

I like the Mercury headlight bezels!...my favorite part of these trucks is actually the shape of the bedsides and corners, with the round taillights. Makes me wonder what a '59 Bronco might have looked like.
With details like the moon discs, blown mill, and matching trailer, this truck ends up looking darned stylish! The ribbed valve covers are pretty cool too.

That turned out really nice, like the graphics, trailer and wheels, well just everything about it!
I have a ‘57 Modelhaus Merc Pickup, it’s getting a 312 out of the AMT ‘56 Ford with the McColouch Supercharger from the Revell Fireball Roberts ‘57 Ford,, some other tweeks are in the works when it gets on my bench.
Did you change the front suspension at all? I’m looking at ways to do away with the axle through engine, worst comes to worst maybe a couple of stub axles from a couple of appropriate sized screws and nuts... still thinking it to death!! LoL!

I’ve seen one or two of the ‘60 F100’s where they used the frame from the AMT or Revell 53 - 56 F100 under them. Which is what I was referring too, it looks like a ton of work, floorboards inside steps in the cab etc. It might be possible to cut the front axle away and place an axle from the earlier F100’s or even the dropped axle from the ‘55 - ‘57 Cameo pick up. Lotta work for something pretty well hidden under the pick up'
