| Fast Lane Foose F150
I havent seen anyone use this truck yet, so I picked one up and found out why. IMG_2160 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_2819 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_5592 by sgtbforza, on Flickr As you can see, its about an inch too narrow BUT at 5.5" tall the height is spot on and the length is spot on. The details are great and come out perfectly, my only complaint is the bed so I will redo that. IMG_9936 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_6446 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_2467 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_5666 by sgtbforza, on Flickr As you can see the wheel wells dont even line up on the bed and it doesnt drop far enough IMG_6437 by sgtbforza, on Flickr So what do you do in this situation? I did this, and im going to add 1.25" to the middle. IMG_4408 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_8015 by sgtbforza, on Flickr Im currently working on a Newbright F150 right now and this body is my waiting on the mailman project but I will try to update with my progress regularly. |

Its slow going because I am allowing the full 24 hours for my epoxy to cure but I got the first pieces of filler in, im going to build up the plastic and then go back and sand down - try to use as little filler putty as possible IMG_4169 by sgtbforza, on Flickr the bumper is just sitting here in this pic thats why it looks crooked but im happy with the width, I think its going to look right once done I have it siiting next to a proline silverado for reference IMG_9116 by sgtbforza, on Flickr |

Nothing too exciting, just another bit of filler and another 24hours of cure time. Just so you guys know Im not putting this up because I think im awesome, but putting it up here I kinda commit to it and it ensures I will finish it lol IMG_5088 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_9556 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_7525 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_1562 by sgtbforza, on Flickr |

not a bad start but the wheel base now looks closer to an excursion to me.

You might be right, the 1:1 wheelbase is 119" so I just went for 11 15/16" and called it good lol edit - I think whats throwing it off are the dimensions of the windows, I will be scooting them back soon. Last edited by sgtbham; 08-21-2013 at 01:35 PM. | |

looking good, the camper shell adds a very nice touch took it from a street truck look to more of a trail ready look

Subbed. Think there should be more SUV bodies available, but in the meantime I'll watch this thread rather than complain.

| Re: Fast Lane Foose F150 Thank you! This update doesnt look much different but Ive put a lot of work in - I have filled in all the F150 details on the front and now it looks more like an Expedition. I have the general shape good so hopefully tonight I can start hacking out windows! IMG_6813 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_4439 by sgtbforza, on Flickr IMG_3370 by sgtbforza, on Flickr |

This is coming together nicely the rear windows really turned out great. Are you still planning for the f-150 or are you going more expedition/excursion as of now? I'm just wondering how you were planning on splitting the rear to look like a cap if doing the truck? Keep the updates coming, its actually inspiring me to get some work done instead of just sitting on my arse...... --Dan |
