Tim either way is great! If you decide to go with the DF-300 body I will be watching closely! I have a DF-300 body that needs to be painted and assembled for my SR to DF converted concoction. So in a way I would say go for the DF!! Use the ford on another project. Trucks are not really for Blizzards....I think only vans or realistic snowcat bodies are good!! I say vans because of the Heavy Metal Van!! hahaha

2 things, I think the truck body is looking good, but really needs a kickass color choice, what did you have in mind? Second I may want to buy your DF body ![]() |

I wanted the color to be a correct color for the truck, so I chose the blue you can see inside the bed. I think that it will weather nicely as well. A red, yellow or other bold color wouldn't fit in my opinion... |

Thanks guys. I am going to keep on keeping on with the 1953 F100. The DF-300 body that came with this chassis will make it's way onto my SR, since I really do not like the stock SR body. |

Cool Tim!! Yeah the SR bodies do suck other than keeping snow out better because they are super skinny.

Going for another kickass weathering job I see! You should kick it up a notch and figure out how to make the body panels look misaligned

Nice, fresh coat of primer.![]() Salty ![]() Apply water, then sprinkle on salt. High sodium build. ![]() ![]() All dry. ![]() Light coat of red primer. ![]() #0000 steel wool to remove salt and smooth. Burt Reynolds approves. ![]() Mo salt. It does makes everything taste better. ![]() Sprayed a coat of Tamiya "dull red" and then #0000 steel wool again. ![]() ...and more salt (both sizes) ![]() Then then final color (Tamiya AS-5 "Light Blue" or "Luftwaffe") ![]() Masks and salt removed. Ready for some serious #0000 steel wool and detailing... ![]() More soon, snow's a-coming! |

I didn't want to say anything but I really prefer the snow cat body on these vs a truck or van body. Cool that you got the metal tracks. I'm on the waiting list for the next shipment. |
