looks great!  I'm currently working on a 56 F-100, which is my favorite!! Hope mine turns out as well as your truck! Have you used the Detail Masters finishing sand paper?  Goes up to 12000 grit and works wonders!!

Thanks!

I've sort of used LMG's micro mesh set but I usually skip the last grits. Instead I use Tamiya polishing compounds to rub out the last imperfections. Doesn't leave that perfect shine but it's good enough for me as I often feel a bit lazy when it comes to the final finish. 

So, now we wait for some F-100 extravaganza then

Bit higher on the wheels than I originally thought... Knowing me, I read "1950 Ford F1" and though... *huh* a) Ford in F1 in the 50's? and b) Must see this, never knew of such an old F1 model! Imagine my surprise when I saw a truck!

But that out of the way - Niclas, how do you keep on outdoing you allready top quality every time?! Absolute stunnig and inspirational stuff!

Nicely done Niiclas.  One of my pals had a stock version back in my High School days.  Was a pretty rough ride compared to todays trucks.

WOW. One of the top works posted. Everything from the engine bay to the truck bed looks excellent. Very sharp rendition of a popular classic truck.

Thanks for showing!

What a lovely color.
