I started the Ed "Big Daddy" Roth 56' F-100 I smoothed every thing out and put some big ol' chromes on it I had to cut a lot of the bed to get em to fit. I'm also puttying the whole front end together for a "flip nose"look. It's not near done by any means but I hope yall like it so far.

The wheels are horribly out of scale and give it a cartoony look. If it weren't for the fact that you'd already made such heavy modifications to the bodywork to fit them, I'd say to forget you even bought them and go look at some smaller diameter wheels from Pegasus Hobbies or Machined Aluminum Specialties.

meh, people have different styles "Build for yourself..." as Tonio would say... looks ok to me... wheels are just a tad big tho, but dont change it to make others happy...

well I was thinkin about changing the wheels after I really looked at them for a while but now yall convinced me I'll go to a smaller wheel.
I have a much smaller diamiter wheel that I have in mind i just have to find it.

Lil'budman

Looks alright. Wheels are way to big. Good to know you are using smaller ones.

yikes bluahhhhhh. at least give it a body lift enough to where the wheels look driveable

Hey man who are you to say the rat man is turning in his grave? Have you ever met him before? Anyway, cool so far and keep building!!!!

I have to agree about the wheels! They are a little large...but my opinion doesnt matter...If you like em.....keep em
Im interested in this thread so keep up the good work
