29 Sedan Parts Box Expirement

[James2]

This time of year it is very difficult to do any spray painting and I spend my hobby time building. With that in mind this will be a Parts Box Jalopy/Rat Rod (I hate that term)

Using the front cowl of the model A and the body of a 32 Sedan I came up with this. I have Z'd both ends of the 29 chassis, added a Nascar rear end and a suicide front axle. 

Power will be a 426 from the Tony Nancy double dragster kit, with a scratch made adapter for 6 single barrel carbs, wheels are left overs from the PB.

I will use a fuel tank I found and the front seat from a 32 Ford kit.And anything else I can scrounge up...

Looks like an interesting project. Unless you are 100% sold on the front wheels/tires, they look a little disproportionately large compared to the rear tires.

Now this one I REALLY like (not that I don't like the others)

Looks great so far!

I like where this is going!

Thanks for the comments. Part of the plan for this one is to use a brush paint and weathering techniques for the finishes. I'll be doing some real rust also (Like the 53 Gasser)

Here are some more mock up pictures of the assembly...

Dents, welds, roll bars and chopped tops! These are a few of my favorite things!

serously though, character in all the right places. I've been realizing that's some of the things I was missing in my grungy builds. The effort should reward you well in the end. Just the right amount without overdoing it.
