    1926 Ford Suicide Door Sedan

    I call it OUIJA. The body is a Jimmy Flintstone resin body. The engine is just some random parts from different kits. The headers are designed by Nahuel Customs and are 3D printed. The grill is also a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. I designed the frame myself to fit this specific body and is 3D printed. The headlight lenses are 3D printed in crystal clear resin with a transparent red dye. The headlight pods are also 3D printed. The stands for the headlights are made from a paperclip. The front suspension is a fully 3D printed Nahuel Customs design with the spindles held on with some sewing pins. The steering linkage on the body is a Matty's Custom Scale design and is 3D printed. The steering rod is a piece of bead wire. The skull rear axle is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design but I had to extend it to fit the wheels on the outside of the body. The 4 link rear suspension is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The airbags on the rear suspension is 3D printed in a soft rubber resin. The driveshaft U-joints are 3D printed but the main body of the driveshaft is a styrene tube. The floors are made from scratch from a thin styrene sheet. The tractor seats, the shifter, the dashboard, and the barefoot gas pedal is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The skull steering wheel is one of my 3D printed designs. The steering column is a piece of styrene tubing. The Ouija Board and Planchet is 3D printed. The wheels are from a 1941 Willys Coupe kit. The wheelie bars are 3D printed. The 1959 Cadillac taillights are a Nahuel Customs design and are 3D printed in crystal clear resin with a transparent red dye. The license plate is one of my designs and is designed for this specific build. The demon skull hood ornament is 3D printed. The visor is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The skeleton hand side mirrors are one of my 3D printed designs. The entire building is hand painted with a paint brush. The rusty look was done with three different shades of brown acrylic craft paint and two different color tint washes. The rusty look on the roof was done with three different sized sponges but the sides were done with a paint brush. This is one of my favorite rat rod builds I've done.

    1967 Chevy Camaro Z/28

    I call it THE HEAD HUNTER. Body is dented up with a candle lighter and then painted to look rusty and beat up. Headlights, turn signal lights, and taillights are painted with some calligraphy ink. The wheels and tires are 3D printed by Jaysresinwheels1948 on ebay. The rims are painted with a metallic charcoal gray color. The lift kit is from the Wild Hoss Ford Bronco kit. The transfer case is 3D printed. The front and rear axles have been extended so the wheels would fit. The u-joints on the driveshafts are 3D printed but the rest of the driveshafts are made from scratch styrene tubing. I scratched the windshield with an exacto knife blade to simulate a crack without breaking the window. The engine is box stock except for the air cleaner. That part was pulled out of my parts box. The radiator hose is made from a hollow rubber bead cord with a piece of bead wire inside so that the bead cord will hold it's shape. The interior is painted Matte Black. The carpet and headliner is black craft felt. The seat inserts are made of an American flag ribbon I found at Hobby Lobby. The shrunken head hanging from the rear view mirror is 3D printed. A piece of black embroidery thread holds it on the mirror. The stance looks like it's accelerating down a gravel road. I built a diorama display base for it using a piece of foam board and some model train scenery detail supplies I got at Hobby Lobby. The dust cloud is just some pillow stuffing I had laying around. This is one of my favorite 4X4 builds I've done.

    1954 Chevy Milk Truck

    I named this one JUNKYARD DOG. It's a resin model from Resin Model Ranch. The 1950 Chevy 3100 Pickup kit is what I used for a donor kit. I painted it a Foliage Green acrylic craft paint and weathered it with 3 different shades of brown paint applied with craft sponges. The decals are pulled from a 1965 Chevy Stepside Pickup kit. The interior is mostly scratch built. It's painted a light brown and weathered with black calligraphy ink. I modeled the interior after the Divco Milk Truck interior. The interior junk includes 3D printed Grizzly Tobacco cans, rolls of duck tape, crushed energy drink cans, a skateboard, a broken bottle, a fuel can, a pair of jumper cables, some oily rags, a bobblehead dog, two boxes of Champion Spark Plugs, a real metal greasy chain, a Coleman Cooler, a Duncan Donut box with a donut inside, a box of Kleenex with real Kleenex inside, and a melted Crunch candy bar on the dashboard. The steering wheel is salvaged from my parts box. The seat is also salvaged from my parts box. The Guage cluster is made of some jewelry necklace rings and some UV Hardening resin. The radio face is 3D printed. The windshield was scratched with an exacto knife blade to simulate a crack. I also drilled three holes in the glass to simulate bullet holes. The frame has been extended to fit the body. The driveshaft is made from scratch. The engine is weathered with black and brown calligraphy ink to make it look greasy. The engine is also plumbed and wired using rubber bead cord and bead wire. I also eliminated the bumpers. The wheels are pulled out of my parts box. I even 3D printed a person figure to go with it.
