  7. Thank,s guy,s , Jean ,the base is just a peace of plastic with a peace of angle for the curb , parking meter was in my parts box , paint is light /dark grays ,white ,and flat black sprayed on at about a foot a way to get the effect that looks like concrete ,I used a scribbing tool to make the cracks , Bruce , the headers are made from plastic tubing ,

  18. here is the kit you have , I hope this helps ,
  19. WOW ! And I thought I worked fast , nice start that kit will make a nice rat rod . the frame looks like you are on the right track maybe not so much z in the frame .you can change the front suspension to get the low stance you are after .cut the spring off the drop straight axle and shave the spring down to one or two leafs and mount it behind the axle ,it you don,t want to make your own trailing arms you can cut the wish bone at the trans mount and use them glue them to the side of the frame you are making a suicide front suspension the spring would get monted on a L bracket in front of the radiator ,this will lower the front end .I,ll post a pic of what I mean .I used the same set up on my 26 T that is posted here as well ,hope this helps . used the 32 axle , I used air bags on this one but you would not have to .
  20. did some more body work and added a strip of styrene down the side that will get bare metal foiled after paint .
  21. Thanks Randy , And thank you to every else that has made comments .

  23. completely scratch built , way to much stuff to list it all .enjoy .
  24. SKIP , I made the frame from evergreen styrene square tubing , along with the suspension from parts from other kits and styrene .I,ll try and get a pic of the frame on here .
