i do retract my previous statement - rat rods DO deserve thier own class Junkyard dioramas.

looks great so far

pretty sure more folks get killed on jobsites every year than race car drivers...

No, i dont. Cars is cars is cars. That said. Traditional rods are great. "Rat rods" (god i hate that term) Are by very definition, JUNK!

its painted and cleared

the more i look at it the less i dig the green. think im going to go with blue.

duplicolour makes a good primer/sealer too

same thing happened to me

its not completley finished but i cut the frame rails away from the molded in floor, narrwoed them, and am in the process of rebuilding the floor and wheel whells

looks very cool chuck. i think the engine is the only good looking part of the hudson! lol

just some mock up photos colour will be some shade of red, enging will be a big block, and i narrowed and backhalved the car myself. comments welcome

Wow. just....wow.

yes i plan to bring it tomorrow, smart arse, and i HOPE to have it done for the show at maritime on the 29\th

:rolleyes:

absolutley! if it dont shine, it aint mine! Rust is the enemy and rat rods are JUNK!

small update, ive stripped the chrome off the heads ( will be painted with alclads polished aluminum) and the engine is nearly complete. i have to say I LOVE this kit. it is by far the best kit ive seen in a while and truthfully i like it even more then the merc kit.

thanks vaughn!

thanks walt

i should have the body painted and cleared by tuesday at the latest

from as many angles as you have

thats what i meant harry, there have been propane powered personal vehicles for years

thanks man, it was hard pickin a colour for this one, i had half a dozen reds, and 3 or 4 different blues, and this green all lined up, just starin at em for about 45 minutes tryin to decide while i listened to some terror albums. eventually i went with the green

road going vehicles running on propane is not new in the slightest

More or less a box stock build, tail dragger style. with a few machined parts to be added along the way. im not sure if im gonna use the kit supplied hub caps or machine a set of my own Since all of the tree builds of this kit ive seen so far have been some shade or another of red, ive decided to buck the trend and paint it... the paint is a dupont hue, Acadia green metallic and its sprayed over a duplicolour Candy base coat silver base, i will eventually clear everything with pro form 2 part urethane clear. and remember kids, RUST is the ENEMY.

looks great...what kit did those weiand valve covers come from???!
