The last time I posted this, some of you guys pointed out (and rightly so ;D) that the wheel openings were awkwardly large. So, I took some corrective measures. The front wheel openings were shortened 3 scale inches lengthwise , then the rears were shortened 6 scale inches lengthwise to make them match the fronts. Then, I cut the sunken taillights from the Chevy rear fenders in the '53 kit and grafted 'em into the Ford rear fenders. Before... And after...

BIG improvement there, Randy. I like it just the way it sits. Super kustom pick-em-up!
ps - I marked my pickup's front fenders last night where I'm going to clip in the fronts of some '53 fenders and hood edge so I can use the kustom grilles from that kit on my '50 Ford shop cruiser. Man, this pickup build-off is fun!
