MikeMc Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Hope you followed this build!!!! Edited April 30, 2008 by MikeMc
dub Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 That turned out great! I know everything I've built for the past 6 months has pretty much been older than 1970, but that doesn't mean I don't like modern stuff. They are what kept my interest in rods until the resurgence in traditional came about. Very well done on this one, Mike. Very well done indeed. I can only give you ###### about those headers burning off that beautiful paint on the cowl and doors in the first 30 seconds after first starting it up!
Spike Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) that is B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!! i love it. nice color,stance,detail everything about it is bitchin lol. one question, hows you do those headlights to make em look like HIDs?? Edited April 28, 2008 by moparkid999

I loved this idea ever from the start and this turned out perfect. I like the way you take your pictures.

One of my quirks is blue lights.....just thought it looked kool! A drop of clear blue acrylic paint in the headlight bucket (or under the lens) will give you this look,I usually glue in the glass with future

Raul_Perez Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Very nice, Mike!! This one really came together very well!!
RatRod Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Man, after all that hard work, and changing you mind more that your underwear, that Lil truck turned out pretty dang nice Mike!!!
Darrell Gwinn Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 It may not be a rat now, but just you wait. someone will steal those fancy wheels so there itll sit for years and years, paint slowly fading, things bumping into it, denting and scraping it up and the weather taking advantage of it. then one day youll decide to put some old steel wheels and put on it just to get it rollin.. and there it is. a rat rod... haha I keep forgetting its just a model....
Gray Smith Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Now thats a truck i'd drive daily..great job Mike..I like it alot! Gray
