tim boyd Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) I recently developed a series of "Hot Rod Hints" articles, brief "how-tos" on relatively easy steps builders can take to personalize your traditional hot rod model projects. The first "Hot Rod Hints" shows how to add real wood bows to the open tops of your coupe and sedan hot rod model projects. Your reaction (primarily the number of visitors and views at the link below) will determine whether I continue this approach in the future. so please notify your other hot rod building friends and ask them to take a look too. Here's the link....nine images and captions for your reading and building enjoyment.... Thanks for looking checking this out, and I hope this inspires a few new traditional hot rod model projects. Check back soon for Hot Rod Hints, Chapter Two. Thanks for your interest....TIM Edited January 21, 2017 by tim boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Great idea, Tim. Probably nobody has built as many good-looking hot-rod models as you have over the years, and you know all the kits inside out. Lots of info to share in one place.
