Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Yessir, count me a fan! Cool looking rod for sure.
Dennis Lacy Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 That’s really neat, Curt! Model A sedans lend themselves so perfectly to rat rods and the tractor grill is an essential rat rod item. I really like the weathering, old Revell parts pack style Halibrand’s and the chain link “floor” and of course, the ARDUN.
espo Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Has the proper appearance for a Rat Rod. What I notice is all of the little extras done in the detailing. Lots of screens, Floors, Intake Stacks, and the rope seat belts are a nice touch. I also appreciate the general shape of the Shifter.
Danno Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Most excellent, Curt! And, needless to say, I love the license plate.

Art Laski Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Hey Curt, for some reason I've been missing all your builds. This one looks awesome!
AmericanMuscleFan Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Very nice and convincing build Curt! As other mentioned, the weathering on the body is spot on! Well done!!!
Paul Payne Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Great build- full size this would be a very driveable rod.

Spex84 Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Love the detailing on this one! The screen floors are a cool touch, really add depth to the model. At first I thought the tractor grille was one of my 3D printed pieces, but I see it has different proportions, interesting! The mesh screens on the injector stacks really do it for me
Dann Tier Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 VERY cool, and unique in a subject where everything seems to look the same -Love it!!!
