Cool engine work mate, but being a Ford, you should add more oil leaks...

Nice progress. That side molding looked like it was a chore, but you sure ot it - looks great. Engine is very real looking, but instead of more oil leaks like DC said, maybe a stain in the driveway? LOL I shouldn't speak, after 10 years, my Ram has started to drip a bit...

As I was growing up my grandmother had a 64 Ford Falcon that was white. It had a red interior. My dad had a white 63 Ford Galaxie, it too had a red interior. This has always made me bias towards red interiors in white cars. That being said, Ive noticed a lot of blueish gray interiors in white service vechiles like vans and police cars.

I have to agree, a red interior really does work with a white body color mate.

I would probably go for a nice deep red/burgandy but being white you can use any colour really

I remember growing up, my grandpa bought grama a car, because she kept egging him for a new car. When he got her one, it was a Dodge "Demon" Dart. Even had the "Demon" package stripes, and everything. It was a white car, but the interior was a bright, wild orange. Grama always said how she hated it, and grandpa would just smile, knowing he got her a new car alright. Man what I wouldn't give to have that car today. Yes, red would be the norm to put in a white vehicle, that or gray or black i would guess. But if you want to get wild, I do know they did orange back in the day!!

Got some more things handled over long weekend. Got started painting interior, only to find I have misplaced the door panels. Seats started, black with white Just joking. Had an idea to make the seat two toned; I think it worked, Floor, Dash, Worked on bed, What are these step things? Oh wait, And like a blind man, I missed that big blob on the top of fender. Found the hood to be somewhat warped, Somewhat better, Cab painted, Bed painted, Both together, Still have to paint engine bay black and start spraying clear on body

Got a few things done on the F100 this weekend. Narrowed up one of the rear bumpers, Can also see from above picture that I've stripped chrome from hub caps. Got engine compartment painted semi-gloss black, along with parts of the grill, Body has been cleared and mildly polished; want it to have a survivor/older re-paint look. That's it for now. Thanks for looking in. As usual, comments and suggestions appreciated

Making more progress, although I think it might not be ready in time. Still waiting on the replacement door panels. I finally got chassis put together. Took a lot of time to get exhaust bent to work with bed. Plus, I swear everytime I got something glued together, I'd pop it loose working on next part. Chassis underside, Figured I'd see how everything lined up with body, Got grill finished. Not sure you can tell from picture, I sprayed with satin clear then used a q-tip dipped in alcohol around perimeter, leaving egg crate section dull. Then painted bezels semi-gloss black. turn signals done with an orange Sharpie. Earlier, I showed the stripped wheel covers. Painted them model masters steel, then used a blackwash to try to highlight center cap emblem. Not sure if they look all that great, As always, thanks for looking in
