Civic, this thing is really starting to come together!! even since last week when I saw it. as for colour, I would go RED!! but I am an IH guy so I may be a bit biased. can't wait to see it again when I pick up the Falcon and Grasshopper. Great job, maybe you could teach me a few tricks so I can start doing some of these things.

It really is something to see in person, I am quite jealous of the fabrication skills he has.

As in Boyd Coddington? Cool, yeah that's the job!

Re: early 50's ford coe hay hauler
 

Ya i wanted green but everywhere around me was out of everything except really ugly shades lol. This red is a boyd coddington colour. I plan to put a company
name on the doors in white.

Really cool build!!I like those old school trucks.Keep up the good work.

Re: early 50's ford coe hay hauler
 

Your truck is coming along great. :)

Re: early 50's ford coe hay hauler
 

Just got my first look at this truck and man am I jealous! I am a kit builder, and I love my truck so far (first one), but I do love the look of these scratch builds! Boy the money somebody could make selling those type of wheels......wish I had skills

Re: early 50's ford coe hay hauler
 

yes i also would leave the color truck looks fantastic! i think the color sets off the rims just because its bright and rims being so unique are dark perect combo

Re: early 50's ford coe hay hauler
 

Is it just me or does it need a gun rack? Lol

Re: early 50's ford coe hay hauler
 

well, almost got it finished finally. cab and bed paint is mostly done, just needs some touch ups, frame is painted and all major components installed. lights wired, details (mudflaps, hitch, lic. plates) done and mounted. Have driven it, wayyyy too slow with the 80t motor, going to put maybe a 45 in it. i do still need to make a proper driveshaft and hang the exhaust i made for it but thats about it!

what you guys think?

Re: early 50's ford coe hay hauler
 

Wow civic thst ol' Ford looks great man, I love how well the cab turned out, and the grill and cab color combo goes together perfectly. Great build.

Re: early 50's ford coe hay hauler
 

WOW turned out great. a perfect old timer. But i am sure you spotted it. its calling out for nice FORD emblem on that nose its like a perfect spot.

Re: early 50's ford coe hay hauler
 

Another fine job Civic. Between this, Optimus and MotorMaster, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite builders.
