Erik548 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 i got a little more work dont on the rat, got the frame and engine block in primer, did the first pass at weathering (many more to come to get the layered look) and im playing with the idea of using a model car garage 38 LaSalle grill, yes it doent look as good but im tired of 32 grills on everything.

Bumblebi Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Looks good so far. At first glance I didn't like the LaSalle grill, but there's potential in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler62990 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 There's some really neat stuff going on here. The first time I saw that body, my first thought was that it would be much cooler as a hot rod than a gasser. Cool to see someone's actually doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik548 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 i thought that too, but like when i started into modeling, so i had no skills and tried to make rust with a soldering iron and i tried to scratch build a frame and my skills weren't there so it got shelved. anyway i saw that extra frame and figured it should be pulled out again and tried to finish it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik548 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 after some time away from the bench i finally got some more bench time ini finished bracing the frame and put the floor pan in along with roughing in the mount for the rear mounted radiator. the seats are only place holders until i cut them up or find some that allow the drive shaft to pass through and i need to fully mount the fuel celland everyone can let out a huge sigh of relief, ive decided not to use the LaSalle grill and to go with the old standby of a 32 ford grill.
