dimebolt Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) My newest project is gonna be Lime Ice Testors one shot lacquer, so it's gonna be called the Snot Rod. All the shaded areas are getting removed. It's gonna have a big Mopar Hemi, crossrammed with 4 weber carbs. It'll be my first chop top, and my first hinged set of doors, so it's gonna be interesting. Thanks for looking. Corey Edited December 22, 2012 by dimebolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimebolt Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks Doc, and Fredo. This one is pretty far outta my comfort zone, so it should be a fun change of pace. More to come. Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Bugmeister Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Off to a great start, I like the mods. I'm building the same kit right now, but as a more traditional rod. Are you using the hinges as supplied, or building slicker ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebolt Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Thanks man. I'm probably gonna smooth the kit hinges out, and do it suicide with scratch hinges since these are so fragile.

Pat Minarick Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks man. I'm probably gonna smooth the kit hinges out, and do it suicide with scratch hinges since these are so fragile. Corey Hey Corey. Great start ,Just an idea .How about gull wing doors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebolt Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Sorry, didn't think about putting it in here guys. Thanks Pat. Ya know, that would be really killer lookin, and different for an old rod. I might have to try that. Thanks for the idea man. I got everything cut up, and glued back together. Next I'll remove the kit's hinges, and smooth everything out for primer. Thanks for looking. Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Not a problem , always wanted to try that out on one. No telling when Iwould get around to it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 very cool !! curious on the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebolt Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks Richard. This is the first pre 64 car other than my SWC Willys, that I've built since I was 10 or 11. I tried to build 2 different ones. A 32 and a 33 Ford. Both turned out horrible, and promptly got trashed. So this is pretty much uncharted water for me. I've got some pretty solid ideas for it though. I'm gonna scratchbuild the intake, and try to get as close as I can to this kind of design here. I think it will be cool.

crazyrichard Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 hmm yes that def. a great idea COOL TO FOLLOW i'm actually the other way r......... i'm doing my best modeling with cars like this , the old models .. tried a modern car a while back (a older japanese NISSAN LAUREL) .. super simple building if you ask me , only a few parts and not as much room for customising as the old timers ... but i just lost interest and found it boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'm building that pickup but the plastic is blue. I like the mods you're doing to yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebolt Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks guys. You're probably gonna think I'm crazy, but the creative juices were flowing last night; so I just went with the flow. Here's what I have so far. Still have alot of smoothing out to do, but the drivers side is pretty much roughed in. Thanks for looking. Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Mike Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Corey, it will defintely be a one-of-a-kind model, I like the way you're thinking! Now you've gotta go with some kind of killer pearl or candy color! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
