Rider Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This one started out a pure rat rod, 8yrs ago, some how it morphed into this quassia Rat. It was one of those builds that just.....well one you can never quite figure out how to get all the bits to work together. But once I got the wheels/tire's sorted, the rest fell into place. The spider is a real dried out specimen, I think it was originally a Brown Recluse. Once dried I sprayed it with few coats of Pledge, then Molotow Chrome and a dusting of green. White walls are painted on with enamel, rear tire's are 1/20 Tamiya F1, rims are cast from a Revell Drag kit. Thanks for checking it out.

Plashdaddy Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I like it, some neat effects there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Great looking build. I like looking at the different components and trying to figure out were they came from. That engine is the biggest 4 cylinder I have ever seen. I like the blower set up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabbricaP Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Wow this looks awesome! Great creativity and even better execution. How'd you get the headlights to look like they are lit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a Rolls 6 cylinder, the two centre ports are paired up. Never thought the air box could be a blower of sorts. 10 hours ago, FabbricaP said: Wow this looks awesome!

Oldmopars Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Cool idea, it looks great. I think it is very Rat-Rod, even with no rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeakDoc Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Very, very cool. Kinda rat-rod meets steampunk. I really dig the creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
