I love your mini. Now I would be interested to hear the sequence you followed to do this. My salt job didn't pan out. I think I'll have to strip & start from scratch.

Not truck, aircraft or hot rod but a boat engine. 1957 Chris Craft KLO. L-head 6, 236 cu.in. / 195 hp.

I used what I could find. I think it is pickling salt. You are right, it does look big.

Playing with salt.

I was thinking about doing something like that. Perhaps with a sag.

I would like to see some rust and chipping, even some wear but I'd like to see the red too. Do I respray and wetsand down to the red? Or do I airbrush just the areas I want to show rust? I tried to watch some videos but I find them incredibly painful to watch. I think I'll try some of that salt treatment around my holes.

I thought the next one should be a redo. I selected this one. However, I thought it would make a perfect guinea pig to practice making a junker. So I opened up one door. And started making some holes. Contrary to Bill Engwer's advice I have no plan. I couldn't find an image to use as a guide. So I'll wing it. It'll have four flat tires, or maybe three and a rusty rim.

Couldn’t have said it better. Stand by him.

Ah.OK. Thanks Brian.

We'll take you.

Brian, at the risk of me looking stupid, please explain the differences you are working to achieve.

Nice job Dan, love it.

Love it. i remember riding around in a 68. Lotsa fun. Nice build.

That "hole' was left by the paint detaching itself when I removed it from the Revolver stand where it was before. However, it does have that look of serious damage.

Yes it is . I just posted a few things. I guess I'll hang around for a while.

Assembled and painted.

Spectaculaire! Are the plans & measurements for the canopy & ripper available?

Mine are all on my computer. The ones I share in the forums are on Photobucket as well. Iam thinking of switching if this keeps up. Fokti or Flickr ?

Right now, I can't log on.

That has to be very rewarding Brian. Keep encouraging him.
