mookie Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Today out of pure boredom i chopped my 37 Ford pickup which was completely finished. I thought it would look badass next to my chopped Deuce I am working on. Now that it is chopped I am having second thoughts about it, did I cut it too much, did I cut it in the wrong place. When I was masking off the cut area it looked right, but now it looks really akward. I have an idea of what i want it to look like, but I have no inspiration. I am going for the rat rod look, with an extreme chop. Help me by posting some of your finished rat rodded trucks. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 What blue do you use? Is it like a primer of just flat paint. It is Krylon dark blue flat with a couple coats of matte clear to seal the decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Sam, I really love those photos. The backdrop is perfect eye candy. The model is very cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixties Sam Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Sam, I really love those photos. The backdrop is perfect eye candy. The model is very cool too. Thanks, Cranky! I appreciate the compliment. I made the diorama mainly for a photo backdrop. A local Ollie's Bargain Store had the Lindberg 32 pickups for $7.99, so I got two of them and two of the 34 roadster pickups. Built 'em all last year. They're kind of crude, very old school kits, but fun to hack up into rat rods and such! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
