    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. The fedora on the ceiling is 3D printed and held on with a fedora hat holder made from scratch wire I got from Hobby Lobby. The Lowrider Car Club plaque is 3D printed. The interior tub and seats are painted with a Satin Burgundy color. The ceiling color is hand painted with a paint brush in a similar color that I used on the rest of the interior. The Flathead Ford engine box stock and painted as stock looking as possible. The person I have standing next to the car is a 3DP Miniatures design and is 3D printed.

    1932 Ford Coupe rat rod

    I call this build The Brown Recluse. I started with a Jimmy Flintstone resin chopped 1932 Ford Coupe body. 98% of the build is 3D printed. My donor kit is an AMT 1932 Ford Phaeton. I 3D printed a Nahuel Customs 1932 Ford hot rod frame. The spiderweb grill, also a Nahuel Customs design, has a brown recluse spider painted on it. The 3D printed tractor pull headers are also a Nahuel Customs design. The wheels are designed by Daft Design. The tires are 3D printed in a flexible black resin. The finned drum brakes are also 3D printed. The engine is a Matty's Custom Scale Frenzel Supercharged Flathead Ford engine and is 3D printed. The drive belt is a thin rubber hair band. The Optima Battery is 3D printed. The wiring is part of an aftermarket Pre-wired distributor. The radiator is scratch built out of some square styrene rods and a wire mesh water filter I found at a thrift store. The radiator hoses are made of hollow rubber bead cord I found at Hobby Lobby. The roof rack and everything in it is 3D printed. The visor is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. I opened up the trunk in order to fit the 3D printed military bomb fuel tank and the 3D printed NOS Bottle. The tiny Skull on the nose of the body is 3D printed. Interior was modified from the 1932 Ford Phaeton donor kit. The interior tub was cut in half and the original transmission tunnel was removed. The new transmission tunnel was made from scratch along with the trunk. The front and rear suspension was salvaged from the donor. The tractor seats are a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design sitting on some stands made from a styrene tube. The chain link steering wheel is 3D printed with a single Diamond Dot as the horn button. The Shifter is a 3D printed Holy Hand Grenade attached to a bent sewing pin. The cupholders are made from a couple of eyelets I found at Hobby Lobby. The dashboard is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The entire build is hand painted with a paint brush. The person is a 3DP Miniatures design and is 3D printed. I painted the person to look like me. The wagon is also 3D printed and is painted to look like a rusty Radio Flyer wagon. This is one of my favorite builds I've ever done.

    1977 Ford Econoline Van 4x4

    Built for a SEMA show themed build off on Instagram. Named it THE BOOM BOX. Hand painted it with a paint brush. It's painted with an acrylic craft paint call Green Flash. The wheels are spare wheels I had laying around. The leaf spring suspension is entirely made from scratch. The interior is mostly stock. I scratch built an entertainment wall in the back of the van with slots to hold a 3D printed Playstation 5, two 3D printed Playstation 5 controllers, two 3D printed milk Crates to hold games, and a 3D printed flat screen TV with a screenshot picture I found online. The back side of the wall is covered in an adhesive vinyl material I found at my local craft store. The front side of the wall has 4 JPS Customs resin Jackhammer subwoofers and 4 JPS Customs resin Jackhammer amps and painted the same color as the body. The front cab is box stock except for a 3D printed digital radio on the dashboard, a 3D printed pair of headphones on the console, and a 3D printed laptop on the passenger seat. The engine is box stock. The side door is cut open and hinged upward with hinges made from scratch using paperclips an able to stay open with the help from a piece of a round styrene rod above the door. The back doors are opened and hinged normally with scratch built hinges made from paperclips. The speakers on the inside of the back doors are 3D printed and designed by Pixel Print 3D. The door panels on the back doors are made entirely from scratch. The hood is not hinged but if it was it would be hinged to open forward. The last detail I added was a custom license plate I designed with the van's name on it.
