chevyford ratbash > re-color

[crazyrichard]

awhile back i made a chevy-ford pickup rat ... idea was based on the well known rod with the coronet rear

i used a chevy to make the rear ...

now i was never happy with the result and just 2 hours ago i thought lets redo the "paint" better said patina ..

still not one of my better builds but it looks a tad better now i think .. maybe later on i will change the front wheels and add a cage ..?

the idea

what i made >

so today put pigment powder on the body

and just went crazy with tones and runners and stuff

just a quick revamp of this old build

Wow, what a difference. Very nice!

[hgbben]

That looks great

thnx guys .. i know i put it in under glass .. but when i sat down i thought .. hmm i know what i dont like .. those front wheels ...

this build actually was finished quickly back then because i lost inspiration , and in the meanwhile i learned more or maybe got more vision (i hope lol)

so i took out some tyres and got these revell tyres , usually for the rear ...

used rings from amt and combined them with the wire wheels already on ...

now this is quite a big thing (the whole rod) and so now it's got more of that heavy duty look !

i think i will modify the grille also and make a visor ...

I rather liked it in the blue color. It had more character in my opinion.

[crazyrichard]

irl .. it looks way better with the rust .. the blue and flaked of paint irl looks unrealistic .. part was gloss and part matte (not in a good way) and tbh most of the flaked of paint spots with rust looked so bad ...

and repainting the body while everything is together is a crime so i opted for the rust

here you can see it up close it was too cratched off , kind of a fail at the time

added head lights and a lower lip / snowplow style

I actually like the new color better.

I liked the original scheme, but the total rusty look works well also.
