Rocking Rodney Rat Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) So , here's where I'm at after some putty and sanding. I added a driprail across the top which helps to visually lengthen the body. I shot it with a guide coat of primer, still some areas to clean up and then threw together a quick mockup. Plans are for a vintage Hemi (Revell 'Miss Deal') , some zoomie headers of some sort...the tractor grille is a resin item sourced on ebay. This will be a slammer/curbside build...-RRR Edited May 29, 2018 by Rocking Rodney Rat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Well how 'bout that! It's looking very cool. The grille suits the body well. A note: That grille originates from the 3D printed item I sell on Shapeways. So if anyone wants a modified version (wider, narrower, taller, deeper etc) just PM me and I can look into making it available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
