Cool Build, .. I have been thinking about doing a Volksrod.. cant wait to see it done!

do you have any pics?...i have been thinking about a blower...

all most done !... still dont know what to do for the power plant?

looks great... I love the blower...

Its just not a Ratrod with out a skull shifter, so I thght I woud try to carve one? I think it came out ok ?

quick up date, floor boards in place, interior is comming along,

Thank you very much for the kind words..

I thought of a nail head too but dont know of a good kit to get one from?

finial paint finnished....i think it needs a flat head?

OK looks like its time to add the rat to this ride ...

Thanks guys for the kind words..Im having fun with this one!...here is how I did the break drums I used parts box rims tht had a small revial on the back for detail, sanded them to fit the back of my wheel assmembly, I then sanded the kits rotors to fit the back of rim (this allowed me to keep the orginial mounting set up from the kit)

Unrelated note: We have the exact same 'star pattern' cutting mats! Everyone who's seen mine looks at it like it's from Neptune or something.

Good eye, they were way to high.. I think I got it, You were right I also found sone thin wood venier @ Michaels scrided some board lines and alitle black wash and I have a wood floor (I can also see this for a truck bed )..made front drums.. the disc breaks just didnt look right on this style rod, and sectioned the grill shell...

not sure I like the bomber seats I made ? Maybe will look better with some paint on em' Any body have an idea for a realistic looking wood floor ?

THANKS, great pic's and ideas.. What do you think about 2tone black on top and cream color on the bottom with the crome foil spliting them?

I haven’t thought about the motor yet, maybe an old Buick motor? I finished the other inner panel and rear panel will start on the bomber seats tomorrow! Need sleeep

I Starded with the revell 32 ford roadster good guys eddition, i think the wheeles are from the 29 pick up same eddition

Thanks, see Photo above I actualy took the box stock peice sanded off the tuck and roll and made a pattern on tape, used a pin vise to drill out as much plastic as posible and cleaned up with a file. I didnt reasurch just did what I thought looked good.. I figured this was the easest way to keep a close contour in the top of the door.

This is my first atempt at this style, and was not happy where I was going with it. Then I saw Made007's Deathproof Nova and was inspired. so I was up last night till 4am , finnished fitting the body over frame then started on the interior, not sure I will stay with the seat, thinking about doind some bomer buckets?

Ok, here is my Blank slate! I have the stance I'm looking for but need ideas for color sceams, any ideas? show me some pics off your builds.

thanks for the coments guys ..the 67 was done with Testors Pacific Blue sray can,

thanks guys , this is another Chevelle Pro street..

Wow! thats beautiful..

Just getting back to the hobby, it has heen about 16 years sence doing a serious build,, here are a few of my old builds, looking forward to picking your brains and catching up on some new tips.
