Ok sir, she is really starting to look like one bad mother already. I can only image how the rest of this build will turn out. Wonderful work so far buddy!!

As stated, I picked up the same truck at Hobby Lobby for $17.20 (40%of cou-pin)LOL and got the other two at a yard sale for $6.00. The old boy saleing them stated his wife was making him clean out his stash, and they MUST go. Felt sorry for the gentleman.

Thanks Steve, Hunter and Joe!

Rear suspension completed. I had to shorten the shocks a lot to match up with the differential reposition up into the chassis as well as relocate the links on the inside of the frame instead of the outside.

Image

This kit is the perfect platform for a Pro Street kind of look. Just look at all the beef from the rear of the truck.

A frontal oncoming view:

and the going away view: I'm VERY happy with the outcome so far.

Alright Joe, I'm all tuned in for this episode of " Joe turns out another awesome Ford truck". Looks to be one boss of a build. I'm especially looking forward to seeing how your paint job turns out.

Joe,

I am not surprised on the progress you have already made. I really enjoy your WiP's for the sure fact of all the mod's you make on each one. I keep learning something new every time you build a kit. Can't wait for the next installment!

 I was at home for two days last week sick. While I wasn't feeling good I thought I would do something that made me feel better, mood wise anyhow.

I started by tackling pretty much the only modification that I'll be undertaking with this project which'll be mini tubbing out back for the larger meats that I'll be throwing under the back and narrowing the rear end. I robbed the tubs from the AMT 65 Nova kit which is now my "go-to" for all Pro Street projects it seems.

I made the necessary cuts in the bed floor and the bed sidewalls. The cuts are a little dicey but they'll be hidden on the topside by a tub and on the bottom by a giant ass tire.

Image

and then made the necessary cuts to the Nova chassis and cut the width of the tubs down to size as well as trim/ clean all the edges of the tubs up.

Image

Here we are test fitted and ready to go. This is about a weeks worth of work normally that I've now got out of the way.

Image

Rear end is narrowed and set further upwards into the chassis in the name of lowering it even more. Had to make a number of mods to get the tire to fit in the fenderwell but I got it done. Here's the way it's going to sit in there:

Image

Image

I've got an order in now for a Texas license plate that reads "DEMON II" and a decal for the rear window and front bumper that'll be clear except for the graphics and will look like so. Sorry Dodge fans.....it was just too dang appropriate!;)

Hey Joe,

I just picked this kit up last week at Hobby Lobby. I will definitely be here the entire build to see the amazing job you do with her. I have no doubt this will be another one of your well detailed and built projects. Enjoy, and I can't wait too see what you do.

 

Heya Hunter! Glad to see you around buddy. You will not be disappointed with this kit. It looks to build up very well OOB. Glad to have you on board. Yes

Revell 56 Ford F-100 Demon II-Completed! 04/15
Posted by mustang1989 on Thursday, August 17, 2017 12:49 PM

I was invited to a 3 month "Anything from the 50's" build off at another site so I put all builds on hold to concentrate on that project. I've got a couple of ideas bouncin' around in my head about another modernized "Street Demons" build but this one will be centered around the Foose platform. I'll see what I can come up with to tweak things / shake things up a bit with this one.

 

In order to stay within the 3 month guideline for the online contest at another site I'm going to have to go mostly OOB with this one with the exception of a couple of changes. I'll be going with the OOB engine but may stray from the OOB color scheme on it. Secondly, I cannot stand the wheel / tire set up in the box so I've already made the necessary mods to accept the wheel tire arrangement while still using the OOB suspension with a tweak or two.


After playing around with the stance and finding some lower profile front skinny tires for it I've got the look narrowed down.

 

I'm thinking a deep black paint job with some silver tinted ghost flames. Yeah........we'll be calling this one.............Demon II
