53 Ford flipnose-90%
Haven't posted in a while.
I completed this one a while ago but have never put on the finishing touches. The colour is a Ford factory colour from an 80's Taurus, I can't remember the exact name. One question I have for you guys is suggestions on how to fit the rear wheels in the rear wheel wells without butchering the bed and paint job. ![]() Mike.

You wll need to cut into the bed and then build some tubs to go into the bed if you want to have the wheels tucked inside.
Shorten the axle also. Would look really good if you could pull that off.

I have this same kit. I did use the stock rear axle and wheels. Looks better then mine.

If you don't want to cut the truck, you can cut notches in the tires. Not exactly realistic, but who's counting?

I'd say just cut the axle.
