I got this kit mainly because I liked the look of it on the box art. Though I didn't know the hood gap would be that much. Makes for an odd looking truck. The kit isn't that bad, but it's not great either. It went together surprisingly well. Painting it was probably the hardest part. I still don't understand why there was no decal for the FORD on the back of the truck or why there are no inside walls for the truck bed. Makes it look kinda stupid. Still, it came out looking OK.

As bizarre as it looks that hood gap is correct! They could at least have moved the corners out so that they were on the edges f the headlights. I know it was 1960 by why on earth would they design something that looks so wrong?    I know it was 1960 by why on earth would they design something that looks so wrong?  |

It's a very strange look, from a time when a lot of cars/trucks were looking pretty strange. |

Eric that came out really nice. In 1960 all the pickups were work trucks so design wasn't a huge thing

Man, it sure is an odd looking duck. But great work Eric. I like the red and white. Looks very nice.
