1915 Ford Center Door Model T Amish buggy

I named it AMISH MAFIA. It started out as a Jimmy Flintstone resin body. I designed and 3D printed the frame and floor to fit this specific resin car body. The wheels are kitbashed from an unknown kit. I designed and 3D printed a custom fuel tank and a mounting rack for it. The license plate is one of my custom designs that I do with the name of the build on it. The grill shell is another one of my designs. I used a Thomas Flyer grill as my reference for it. I left the grill screen out of the design so I could add a metal wire mesh screen to it for a more realistic look. The taillights are a Nahuel Customs design that I 3D printed in a clear resin that I dyed with a red transparent resin dye and only the edges are painted with a metallic silver acrylic craft paint. The engine is a MCS Designs Frenzel Supercharged Flathead Ford engine. I had to add my own transmission to the engine block in my slicer program because the original design didn't have one. I used a rubber hair band for the drive belt. The rear axle is 3D printed and was designed by Nahuel Customs. The Nahuel Customs front axle is 3D printed but I modified it to be a little narrower for this build. The windshield is cut from a hot wheels car box and attached at an angle to give it that period look. The door handles are also 3D printed but they are actually trunk handles. The driveshaft u-joints are 3D printed but the shaft part is made out of a plastic straw. The firewall is made from scratch out of styrene sheets. The seats are 3D printed tractor seats. The steering wheel and column is also 3D printed. Both were designed by Nahuel Customs. The steering column is positioned through through the firewall rather than through the body like a traditional rat rod would have. The entire build is hand painted with a paint brush. No airbrush or spray can used.

1940 Ford Coupe police car

I named it MISDEMEANOR. I built it as a lowrider. I painted it a two tone Gloss Black and Gloss White with STS police car decals on the doors. The vintage emergency light is one of my designs that I 3D printed in two parts. The base is printed in grey resin and painted with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone airbrush paint and the cover is 3D printed in clear resin that I dyed with some red transparent resin dye. The engine is a MCS Designs Flathead Ford engine with a 4x2 intake manifold and connected to the radiator with some hollow rubber bead tubing with a piece of bead wire inside to hold it's shape. The engine is all hand painted with a paint brush and some acrylic craft paint. The wheels are Hoppin Hydro lowrider wheels. The rear suspension is modified to sit low and the front axle is a 3D printed 7 inch drop axle that was originally designed for a 1950 Chevy 3100 Pickup but I modified it to fit a 1940 Ford Coupe kit. The interior is hand painted with a Glossy Gray colored acrylic craft paint to make it look like vinyl. The dashboard is painted the same Gloss Black as the body. The chain link steering wheel is 3D printed and painted with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone airbrush paint. The handcuffs are one of my custom designs that I 3D printed and painted the same SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone paint but I had to hand paint it with a small paint brush. The handcuffs chain is just a tiny piece of silver bead wire. I left the back seat out so it could be used as a place for a K9 police dog to sit. It's been a while since I built a lowrider but this is my first police car I've ever built. A friend of mine has the idea for this build and I just added some of my own personal touches to it as I built it.

1963 Ford C600 Cabover Truck

I named it GEAR JAMMER. This started out as a Ford C600 Cargo Truck. I painted it with a custom mixed Green acrylic craft paint color. I then sponge painted the patina on it using two different shades of brown acrylic craft paint. The interior is a Light Brown color with a Light Brown craft felt for carpet and headliner. I modified the interior tub to get the front wheels to fit with the cab sitting low. The barefoot gas and brake pedals are Nahuel Customs designs that I 3D printed. The seatbelts are some Brown ribbon I found at Hobby Lobby and the buckles are 3D printed. The engine is an Iceman Collections twin turbo Cummins diesel engine. I 3D printed an intercooler for it and made some custom pipes to connect it out of some styrene rods. I weathered the engine with some black acrylic craft paint dry brushed on. The frame is designed in two separate halves and 3D printed for this specific build. The wheels are 3D printed Alcoa Dually rims that I modified with spiked lug nuts and the tires are modified Z Force tires to fit these specific rims. The single hump rear fenders are also 3D printed and attached to the frame with some skinny styrene rods. The fuel tank is a custom 3D printed beer keg and a Nahuel Customs gas cap. The taillights are Nahuel Customs 1959 Cadillac taillights that I 3D printed in clear resin with some red dye mixed in. The front suspension is another Nahuel Customs design which is a custom big rig drop axle that I 3D printed. The rear 4 link suspension is also 3D printed and also a Nahuel Customs design. The airbags on the front and rear suspension are 3D printed in a flexible rubber resin that I don't use anymore. The driveshaft is custom made out of a couple of 3D printed u-joints and a styrene rod. The frame and rear fenders are painted with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone airbrush paint and weathered with some Brown acrylic craft paint and a sponge. The rims are also painted with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone airbrush paint but I didn't weather them. Everything that wasn't painted with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone airbrush paint was hand painted with a paint brush. This was a stalled project for a long time and it's finally done.

1961 Ford Ranchero

I built this to look like it's ready to be crushed. I started it by grinding some rust holes in the body. Then I sprayed on some rusty metal primer. Next, I sprinkled on some Epsom salt and sprayed on a Light Blue. Once the blue color dried, I brushed off the large pieces and left the tiny pieces to resemble rust bubbles. After all that I brushed on some rust-colored paint around the rust holes. I even added some watercolor paints to the rust holes as a wash. On the rust hole in the roof, I added some very slight green watercolor paint to look like it's got a little bit of grass starting to grow on it. I completely eliminated the engine and the hood but kept the hood hinges and the radiator. I added a radiator hose made from a black hollow rubber bead cord and a wire mesh screen for the radiator itself. The broken windshield and rear window are made out of a glass laptop screen protector that I cut out with scissors and smashed with a hammer. The passenger side window is done the same way except I cut out a thin strip and wedged it in between the body and the door panel then chipped along the edge to look like it was shattered into pieces. The passenger side taillight was eliminated and replaced with some red and black bead wire for detail. I patted on some rust-colored paint onto the bumpers and grill to make them look like they are rusty and attached them on at an angle, so they look like they are falling off the car. I ground out a hole in the bench seat and glued some pillow stuffing to the underside of the seat and painted it a brown color and weathered with a brownish watercolor paint with a little black mixed in. I eliminated the steering wheel but kept the steering column and the dashboard. The crushed soda cans are 3D printed. I put a pack of Camel cigarettes on the seat that i printed out on an inkjet printer and filled with some very thin styrene rods to resemble 1/24 scale cigarettes. I painted the undercarriage with a rust-colored primer and, while the primer is still freshly wet, I sprayed a flat black color on and let it mix while it dried. I used a technique I learned in Scale Auto Magazine to make one of the tires look flat. I carved out the middle of one edge and glued a piece of styrene plastic to the leftover flaps and the painted it flat black and the end result is a flat tire. The rims are painted flat black. I added a bunch of stuff in the bed. Those items include a mesh screen radiator with rubber hoses still attached, two rubber tires from another kit, a set of bumpers from a 1980s GMC Pickup kit, a real metal jewelry chain I painted with black calligraphy ink to make it look greasy, a 3D printed crushed soda can, and a 3D printed roll of duct tape. This is my rustiest build I've ever done.

1928 Ford Round Cab Pickup

I call it DREADNAUGHT. It's painted with a yellow acrylic craft paint. the rust is two shades of brown acrylic craft paint patted on using some sponges i found at the dollar store. The body is a Jimmy Flintstone resin 1928/29 Ford Round Cab Pickup. The frame is a Nahuel Customs Tracknose frame that I 3D printed. The headlight pods are 3D printed with the lenses made from a couple of googly eyes. I even made some headlight bulbs out of some UV resin colored with a yellow dye and applied on the end of some pieces of styrene rods. The front suspension, the grill, the blower hat, the 1959 Cadillac taillights, and the rear axle are all 3D printed and designed by Nahuel Customs. The dual stacked supercharger is 3D printed. the drive belts are made from some narrow black masking tape. The spark plug wires are made from some red rubber bead cord. I attached some Black Box STL gatling gun exhaust tips that I 3D printed to the headers. the engine is a supercharged hemi from Iceman Collections that I modified for this build. the wheels and tires are salvaged from several different kits. The license plate is one of my custom designs that I did for this build. The steering mechanism is made from a 3D printed Matty's Custom Scale design and connected with a piece of styrene rod that I flattened at each end. The beer keg fuel tank is 3D printed and the chain that is on it is a real metal jewelry chain. I had to combine a Nahuel Customs fuel cap design with the beer keg design on my slicer program so that I wouldn't have to drill into the keg and also so I can 3D print both at the same time. The 1959 Cadillac Taillights are 3D printed with some clear resin that I dyed red and attached them to some piston style taillights that I also 3D printed. The visor is a Nahuel Customs design that I 3D printed and painted flat black. The interior tub is made from scratch styrene sheets and painted black. The smooth bomber style seats are 3D printed. The dashboard is another one of the Nahuel Customs designs that I 3D printed and painted the same yellow as the body. The firewall is made from scratch using a piece of a styrene sheet. The steering wheel is kitbashed and modified by cutting off the top and bottom curves of it. it is mounted to a piece of styrene rod I used as a steering column. It's hard to see but i 3D a bare foot gas pedal and a bare foot brake pedal that was designed by Nahuel Customs. I used a styrene tube to mount the rear wheels and I made a 4-link rear suspension from scratch. This build came out so nice I am going to build another one.

I used some photo etch details on the dashboard including a key with a dangling keychain in the ignition and some dashboard knobs made from some antique model ship detail parts. The horn button is a Pink Diamond Dot. The entire suspension, exhaust system, and frame is painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome. I 3D printed the figure and painted it to go with the car.

1950 Ford F1 Pickup rat rod

I named this build "TETANUS". It started out as a 1950 Ford F1 Pickup. I cut off the roof and chopped the windshield in half. Then I purposely broke the windshield into three pieces and glued the pieces back together so it would look like it's got a broken windshield. I sprayed a Rust-Oleum Frosted Glass spray paint on the windshield to give it an old look. The interior tub, the body, the bed, and the firewall were cut and modified so it will sit low on the stock frame without any modifications to the frame. The wheels I got from an old broken RC car. I painted the car with a Rust-Oleum Flat rusty metal primer and while the primer was still wet I sprinkled on some Epsom salt and then let it dry. Once dry I sprayed on a Hunter Green color and when the green was dry I brushed off the big chunks of salt and sanded it with 400 grit sandpaper to rough it up more. Then I used some Color Tint Washes to give it a dirty look and to make it look more realistic. The dashboard was weathered the same way as the body. The seat was painted with a Black Primer and then a Krylon gloss cinnamon brown color was applied. While the brown color was still wet I immediately sprayed on a flat clear in a gentle mist in order to give it a leather look and texture. Before it completely dried I made some tears in the brown color and then added some pillow stuffing to the tears so it would look like the foam it exposed. Then I weathered it with a dark brown color tint wash. The detail accessories I made myself. Those accessories include a comic book, a t-shirt, a pack of Marlboro cigarettes, a driver's license, an unopened bag of Lays potato chips, and some McDonald's containers. The engine is scavenged from an AMT 1940 Ford Coupe kit. The grill was just an extra one I had laying around. The radiator hose is made from a black hollow rubber bead cord with some bead wire inside it so it will hold it's shape. The detail accessories in the bed include a real metal chain, a custom Iowa license plate with the name of my model club on it (NEBRASKA AUTOS IN MINIATURE "NAIM"), an opened bag of Kingsford charcoal, a fire extinguisher I had laying around, a 3D printed hammer, a 3D printed leaky gas can, an opened can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, and a couple of 3D printed opened cans of Surge Soda. The frame is not modified at all. I just painted it to look old by using a hammered rose gold spray paint color. I wanted this build to look like it was a truck that was originally pulled from the woods and was so badly rusted that the only option to save it was to turn it into a rat rod.

1940 Ford Coupe lowrider bomb

Started out as the AMT 1940 Ford Coupe. Painted it with a Rust-Oleum Flat rusty metal primer, then a flat black, then a pale green color. After the green color dried I took some 400 grit sandpaper and sanded it until I got the patina look that I wanted and then laid down a glossy clear coat. I taped off 3/4 of the headlights and painted on a turn signal amber to the exposed area. The visor was pulled out of an AMT 1950 Chevy 3100 Pickup kit and painted the same way as the body. The white walls were painted on using an acrylic White paint marker I found at Walmart. The wheels are from the AMT 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery kit and painted the same color as the body. I lowered the ride height just a little by modifying the front and rear suspension. I used a red enamel paint for the taillights. The spotlights are an extra part I had lying around. The chain link steering wheel is 3D printed. The Skull and Spine shifter is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The dashboard is painted and weathered the same way as the body.

1964 Plymouth Belvedere

I named this one ALPENGEIST which is a German word meaning GHOST OF THE ALPS. I airbrushed it with acrylic craft paint that I thinned out using windshield washer fluid.

1964 Chevy C10 Fleetside Pickup

I call this build MELON BOMB. I built it as a Watermelon Farm truck. This is a Revell kit and I was very impressed with how well it went together. The paint is a Rust-Oleum Gloss Apple Green over a Rust-Oleum Flat White primer with a Rust-Oleum Gloss Clear Lacquer over the top. The decals on the doors are custom made from a picture I found on Google and printed out using an inkjet printer on some clear label sticker paper. The decal is also cleared over. The wood bed and rails are real wood Popsicle sticks with a real Golden Oak wood stain painted on. I wanted the rails to have a little waterfall look to them so I very carefully cut one corner off each Popsicle stick and sanded them smooth to get the rounded shape. The chrome trim in the bed is some styrene rods I got from Hobby Lobby and painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome. The lettering on the bed rails are painted on using a custom stencil I cut out on a Silhouette vinyl cutting machine and painted with some red acrylic craft paint and a round paint sponge I got from my local Dollar Tree store. The interior is painted with a Red acrylic craft paint using a paint brush and the same color I used on the body for the dashboard, door panels, steering wheel, and steering column. The seat inserts are made with some watermelon seed ribbon I found on Etsy. The same ribbon is also used on the lower section of the door panels where as the same Red paint that is used on seat is painted on the upper part of the door panels. The fuzzy dice that are hanging from the rear view mirror are 3D printed and painted to match the interior with the same green color that was used on the body for the dots. The string holding them on the mirror is some green colored embroidery thread. The carpet is Red craft felt. The seatbelt buckles are 3D printed and the seatbelts are made from some red ribbon I got from Hobby Lobby. The gauges cluster is made from a picture I found on Google and printed out on some glossy photo paper. All the silver parts of the undercarriage are painted with a silver acrylic craft paint. The engine is painted the same color as the body with the red details. The battery is a 3D printed Optima battery. The radiator hose is made from some hollow rubber bead tubing with a piece of bead wire inside to keep it in position. All the tiny red details on the engine, interior, and chrome trim are all painted by hand. The watermelons and the wooden crates are 3D printed and hand painted. The license plate on the back is one I custom designed and is printed out on some glossy photo paper. The wheels are painted the same color as the body. I tried to make this build look lightly customized but at the same time as a working farm truck that you'd see at a farmers market. This is one of my best builds and definitely one of my favorites.

The steering wheel is salvaged from my parts box. I don't know what kit it came from though. I'm assuming a 1940 Ford. The Fedora hat is 3D printed. the wheels and tires came from two separate kits. The main base for the undercarriage is painted with Flat Black acrylic craft paint. The engine is completely box stock.

1956 Chevy Bel Air

I call it GOLD RUSH. It's painted with Paint Huffer Gold Rush and Gloss White with some Tropical Glitz Frostbite metal flake sprayed on top. The chrome trim is painted with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone airbrush paint. The Interior is painted like the body. The front bench seat is pulled from a 1955 Chevy Bel Air Sedan kit. The dashboard is from a different 1956 Chevy Bel Air kit because the original kit was missing one. The undercarriage is painted Gloss White with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone details. before I sprayed on the chrome I had to mask off the white using silly putty. The wheels are 3D printed and came from JaysResinWheels1948 on eBay. The tires came in two parts. The whitewall inserts and the tires which are painted with acrylic craft paint using a paint brush. The fender skirts are also 3D printed and came from 3D Scale Parts. The steering wheel I 3D printed myself and painted it with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone paint. The engine is box stock except for the radiator hose which is made from a piece of a hollow rubber bead cord with a wire inside so it will hold its shape. The hardest part of this build was attaching the front bumper. Other than that, it was a good kit.

1941 Plymouth Barnette Hearse

I named this build HELL'S ANGEL. It has absolutely nothing to do with the biker gang. The "Hell's" part comes from the 3D printed Iceman Collections modern Hellcat engine and the "Angel" part comes from the Kustom Canz Base Pearlz Snow White paint job.

The interior, the undercarriage, and the frame has been stretched. The interior cab is just the stock front half of the 1941 Plymouth Coupe kit and painted with a Matte Burgundy. The gauge cluster is scaled down from a picture I found on Google. The shifter is from a 1959 Chevy El Camino kit. The rest of the interior is completely scratch built. The casket in the back is 3D printed and painted to match the body. All the windows except for the windshield is made from scrap plastic from some old electronics packages. The wheels are old kit wheels I had laying around. The trim on the rear panel is from a Lindberg 1931 Bugatti Royale Victoria kit. The license plate is one I custom designed for this specific build.
