Claude Thibodeau Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Hi Rooster! Great weathering, very convincing. And I know it's not as easy as it seems to achieve that, contrary to what you suggest under the last picture. Bravo! CT
Scott8950 Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Wow that looks like it just came straight outta the barn! Very convincing and nice job.
afx Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Wasn't expecting this finish for the build. Really like the stance.
MeatMan Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Nice work! Excellent patina, and I love the natural looking chop line.
espo Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 I agree on the weathering. Don't recall ever seeing anyone accent the chopping of the top this well.
David G. Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Great looking Rat Rod! I love the weathering and details, especially the welds on the chopped top. But what's the story? This car looks like it has a great story behind it. David G.
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Very convincing barn find old drag racer. Well done.... -RRR
Koellefornia Kid Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Turned out great! I like the grille!
Painted Black Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) I was trying to keep up with this build and the next thing I know its under glass, wasn't expecting an excellently weathered finish, but man it's cool. Well done!! Not even close to being a rat rod! Edited January 29, 2022 by Painted Black
Paul Payne Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 The engineering is great, so now a background story need to be imagineered!
James2 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Posted January 29, 2022 So here is the story of the model itself. I am not sure how long ago I actually started this build, but it was inspired by the Bass Customs 34 Ford. And keeping to my "Finish Them All Tour" theme and the thought of not buying anything to do so it was put together with nothing but leftovers, spare parts and anything in the boxes I already had. The chop happened because I like trying new things, same as the weathered finish with exposed welds. The grill and head lights are because I had them, hence the different color. Engine, trans, driveline and chassis also just because I had them. Kind of the same thing if you were building a 1:1 out of the parts you had laying around. Thanks for looking!
