I started my first will kitbash\scratch built project-wish me luck (Ford Rat Wagon)

[eran_k]

So in the last couple of days i decided to make use of some spare parts and 3d printing, hopefully this will turn out out into something at  least half decent.

i had a 29 ford woody body from the AMT kit, extra frame from a revell 30 coupe kit so i'll try to build some sort of a rat rod woody.

i also printed (and will print more) parts as i go on. here is where i'm at so far....

the body was chopped and i removed some of the wood framing

using some part from the amt kit and some scratch building i made the floor pan and mated it to the revell frame

i printed a front and rear axles, but i'm currently printing another version of the front axle, with some modifications

Also printed a gas tank and a firewall, i still don't have an engine to use, will need to figure something out

 

[OldNYJim]

Nice start!   That front axle is cool - who makes that file?

I've been slowly progressing with this but i'm quit pleased with the results, it's far prom prefect but im happy with it.

I'm designing and testing 3d parts so sometime a part doesn't work the way i planned and i need to go back and change something ,than print and test fit again. 

here is where i am currently, still have many small things to do

[eran_k]

Added seats gas tank and shifter, trying different options for air filter\or air scoop

Looks gnarly dude, gotta print a surf board to go with. ?‍♂️
      

 

Seriously, I like the way it is coming together so far.

I'm digging the chopped Woody body. 

[eran_k]

made some more progress, unfortunately i goofed up the windows a bit with glue but I'm to lazy to redo them.

wheels are now mounted as well as the radius rods, front grill (chopped), and exhausts. also gave the engine a black wash.

basically what is left now is to find a way to mount headlights and some kind of tail lights.

  

[Dennis M]

What a beauty.

[eran_k]

i designed and printed the headlight mounts

[Kenmojr]

Going to be a great rat rod.

[eran_k]

Added the headlights, im going to call this done.
