Welcome to the forum, Zac. There's a ton of great stuff going on here.

SHINY :) and very cool.

SHINY :) Yes. The paint looks a mile deep. What brand & color is that?

Under the hood is a plumber's nightmare. Nice details everywhere and I love the paint. SHINY :)

Very nice. And SHINY :)

Great project and want to see more.

This is a cool thread. I love that diner and the Bad Guys dioramas.

That engine is wild. I don't think I've ever seen a blown inline 6. Cant go wrong with SHINY :)

Followed the build Shane and find the finished model just OUTSTANDING!

Most excellent - and SHINY :)

I'm having a difficult time keeping my mouth shut about this subject. I like SHINY paint jobs and have spent the last 50 years or so trying to get the ultimate gloss and I'm not there yet. To me, rat rods are those vehicles that are put together with all kinds of different parts from all kinds of different vehicles. Flat/satin finishes are a whole different world. Rat rod and flat/satin finishes do not NOT necessarily go together. Once the rolling chassis & engine are done (1:1), many people like to get the body on to see how the vehicle will handle and run. The body might be in primer - but NOT a rat rod! Some people purposely finish their car with a satin finish complete with flames, pin striping, scallops, etc. because that's the final finish they want. Again, not necessarily a rat rod. I congratulate the people who are able to take parts from all over and put together a vehicle that runs. You would never see me in one of those contraptions because it's not my style.

This is so COOL! Marcia (my wife) had such a good time at the MAGS show this past weekend that she's talking about building something on her own. I don't know where she'll work on it, because she's NOT going to take over my shop! At least I don't think she is.

You know how I like SHINY, but those Willys' are pretty cool.

Very cool build. I love the lines of that car.

Had to get it in there. It's sweet.

Those little cars look so cool with big tires under them. Keep going.

Looks like you hit it pretty well. I like SHINY :)

Not rusty and not shiny. Just a kinda worn out look. Pretty cool. Another new category.

SHINY :)

I much prefer the SHINY yellow coupe in the background, but thought you'd like the rusty one, Dr. Cranky.

Nice. Very nice.

It wouldn't be fair to unshiny painted builds all together. I never plan on building anything that's not SHINY, but I wouldn't want to see a rat rod in the same category as a primered lead sled.

Can't go wrong with purple. Nice build.

That's about clear as mud to me.

Low, smooth, and SHINY :) I like it lots.
