kingiguana Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) And yet another one done up rusty but trusty. My friend Jeff will drop this on a slot car chassis. I added a masking tape vinyl landau top. Lots of powders, and dull coat. Edited February 26, 2014 by kingiguana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingiguana Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys. The wheels and tires are only for mock up / pics. It will find its way on to a slot car chassis after my friend pics it up this evening. I have a few other kits here I'm doing for him in a rusty crusty barn find look. I haven't done a shiney one in quite sometime. He likes them crusty since the track glue gets on them anyway, so he would just end up spending all his time cleaning and polishing them.

Jordan 191 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 That will look great whipping around a track! Super cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingiguana Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Actually most of ones I do for him are drag race only cars.. They do race oval and road course cars. They run both 1/8th and 1/4 scale drags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarkasim99 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I like it, really good weathering and details. Where did you get those mag wheels? I'm looking for a set for a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingiguana Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Im not sure where the wheels came from. The fronts are from the AMT/ERTL 41 Ford Woody Wagon, I think. The Cragars are from some AMT kit most likely, maybe the Baldwin Motion Camaro ? All I know is the came out of my parts box. I like it, really good weathering and details.

Skydime Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Hmm, if a ragged hot rod is a rat rod, does that make this a rat rider? I really like this. It looks like a kid found an old beat up car and is doing modifcations to it as he can afford them. Joe, I truely respect the work you put into this. It is representative of something we really might see out and about some average Saturday. Edited March 1, 2014 by Skydime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
