Well done!

I finished this "cartoon-styled" show rod, which I call T-rophy Hunter, a couple of weeks ago. I started the project in June/July 2022. Fully scratchbuilt frame. Body sectioned 1/5" and roof raised 4/5", rear wheels from a 1/20 scale Hard Hat Hauler, bench seat from Monogram 1940 Ford, drivers head from a PEZ-dispenzer, Blower from some Monogram showrod, dummy engine under the hood made from an old AMT 32 Ford V8, The hood from an old Monogram MACK showrod, headlights from a battery-operated toy beach buggy. front wheels I think from Monogram Fire Cracker.

Wow, they're both awesome. However, being a custom man, the blue one is the one that really "speaks to me" !

I love doing showtrods and "Toon-rods", however I prefere do make my own designs, not just buy and build any "stock kit". Here's something I've had on my mind for quite a few years. A german 1941 VW Type 82 "Kübelwagen" with a "crazy out of scale driver, sticking his head out the closed cab". Started out as a 12H challenge build (didn't make the limit of course...) and was finished last week. The car body is from a chinese modelkit by Bluetank Company and 1/24th scale. The rest is pure imagination, spare parts, a PEZ-dispenser and loads of scrachbuilding.

Rudy's "revenge" keeps going. The widowed Mrs Santa has now been kidnapped by Rudy and he's taking her down to Ft Myers, FL , where he runs a surf shack at the beach....

Mock up of my latest WIP, "Trophy Hunter" , a showrod built from scrapped showrod parts I had laying around... -
Just like many years before I was invited to a christmas-challenge. This year everyone got a 1963 Chevy II wagon to build. I did mine almost out of the box, I only changed the wheels , the engine and the steering-wheel. I also converted it to 2-door delivery style and instead of the trailer included in the kit, I made my own fully scratchbuilt trailer. Everything was built in a total of 27 days.
