chadrob30 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Here is my latest WIP...'34 Ford wrecker project. I built it as a truck that was a service station wrecker back in the 30's and 40's, chopped and rodded in the 50's, and then put out to pasture. Now it's too far gone to be restored, lol. Eventually the tires will be flat and all the rest of the finishing details will be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadrob30 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Thanks fellas. The kit is the Lindberg (AMT) '34 Ford 3 n 1. I used red oxide primer on everything. Then I sprayed flat black from about a foot away onto everything. Once dry I applied Sophisticated Finishes iron paint in the spots I wanted rusted. I used an old, wide brush. This is where the effect comes in. I "blotted" instead of used typical brush strokes. It gets a more random pattern this way. After it dried I applied Modern Masters Rust Activator and let dry. I repeated this until the desired effect was achieved. The serious body rust and cancer was done with a Dremel from the back side. No real way to go wrong here, just tried to make it as random looking as I could. Still needs some touch up. I used a small lighter to make the dents. The good thing about building these rustbuckets is there really is no right or wrong way to do it, just experiment. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a lighter to make dents in mine too (currently building a rusty 37 Ford PU). I have to try the Dremel trick to make holes. Outstanding build!
