Somebody needed to build a SHINY Rommel's Rod. Here's one converted to a surf rod. The body was shortened 1" and the seats and BB Chevy are my castings. The paint is HOK cocoa pearl.

And now I'm off to the VA hospital for some overnight tests.

Really sharp looking Jim ! Those kits really lend themselves to being modified into all kinds of hot rods . By the way , Your seats look pretty nice !

Edit - Nice and SHINEY !

Thanks so much, guys.  I've been planing this build for years in my head.

[Michigan Madman]

I never get tired of seeing these built- maybe because NOBODY builds them right out of the box as the intended subject! Very nice.

Thanks, Chuck.
