lou s Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 My first rat rod. Inspired by dr cranky and many others. Enjoyed the build so much I've stared another. Best part is you mess up just cover it with rust.
Spex84 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Love it! Reminds me of the one I built a few years back Very similar choices for the stance, gas tank, engine, etc etc. I like the license-plate transmission tunnel and brake line detail, very nice. Rat rods ARE a lot of fun, aren't they!
lou s Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 this car was modeled after a build I seen on you tube about a year ago.its a much cooler set up and detailed build than mine.at first I thought it was real.they gave great instructions on how to build and rust up a rat rod.until I saw that video I had no idea how they were done or interest in building one but I had all the parts so I started tinkering around with it.the rust on this one was made just like it was explained on the video 3 coats of paint sanded and then rust all. The 34 pickup i posted on the work bench I used several different tech i seen dr cranky demonstrate along with some military modeler.
Jantrix Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Rat rods sure do get under your skin don't they? There is something very cool and refreshing about building without sweating about the perfection of every little detail.Very nice work. It's got style.
