Dennis Lacy Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 That’s really neat, Curt! Model A sedans lend themselves so perfectly to rat rods and the tractor grill is an essential rat rod item. I really like the weathering, old Revell parts pack style Halibrand’s and the chain link “floor” and of course, the ARDUN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Has the proper appearance for a Rat Rod. What I notice is all of the little extras done in the detailing. Lots of screens, Floors, Intake Stacks, and the rope seat belts are a nice touch. I also appreciate the general shape of the Shifter.

Spex84 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Love the detailing on this one! The screen floors are a cool touch, really add depth to the model. At first I thought the tractor grille was one of my 3D printed pieces, but I see it has different proportions, interesting! The mesh screens on the injector stacks really do it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
