Evil looking car you've got there. Please tell me that there will be an occupant or two.

[Dr. Cranky]

There might be . . . we'll see when we get there . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

I'm making a bit of progress this morning before I head out to work . . .

Still tinkering with the weathering . . . trying to get the right blend of rust & dust . . . and I also put on some graphics . . .

Headlight bucket reflectors are watch parts, of course . . .

[Raul_Perez]

Oh yeah...this one is coming along very nicely!!

The flamable, toxic and atomic radiation decals fit right in!!

Did you use Press Tights for the lettering?

Later,

[Dr. Cranky]

Yes, my friend, I use Woodland Scenic rub on graphics . . . a couple of sheets will go a long ways . . .

[Janne Herajärvi]

That is one of the best weatheringjobs what ive seen in hot rods. I usually like smooth, clean and polished paintjobs, but this is just great

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, Janne--I just think weathering is fun. Part of my background in modeling cars comes from all the years of building tanks and airplanes . . .

[Janne Herajärvi]

Well i almost guessed that backgroud Lots of finelooking models in your workshop. Keep up good work!

[Dr. Cranky]

Again, thanks . . .

All right, folks, a bit of progress tonight . . . I realized the horns didn't look right where they were so I found a better spot for them!

now the horns say it all, don't they?

More progress soon. Thanks for tuning in and watching!!!

[Raul_Perez]

I don't know...I kind of liked the horns where they were...

Either way, this is certainly one cool build!!

Later,

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks for the input, amigos . . .

Here are some more progress pics . . . I just have the interior tub left and the front, side and rear windshields . . . and this one will be done . . .

The rust of the grill is just about right too . . .

I've got to put a bit more gray on that helmet!

[Geezerman]

Looks great so far, Crank.

[cruz]

WOW! Nobody out there does weathering like you bro, this is phenomenal!!

[Dr. Cranky]

Thank you, friends, for your comments and inspiration.

Stay tuned in for more progress, for this one is just about done although tragedy almost struck when I went to place the interior tub into the body. It took several attempts and broken pieces to get everything to fit just right.

Luckily with a little bit of touch up paint you could hardly tell the difference. Stay tuned in for one final round of eye candy.

Again, thanks . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

Here are the finished pics of OLD RED. I almost threw it out this afternoon when I thought I had lost it with the interior, but I'm glad I didn't . . .

I used the airbrush to give it a final detailing . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

Just a few more . . . you know there's always more . . .

Of course I just realized I still have to install the door handles! LOL!

[vizio93]

wow man you could just put the body in a show and you'd definatley win . can't wait to see that in a junk yard diaroma

[Guest Mustang3.8]

Wow. That is one sweet lookin' rod.

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, I really appreciate the comments . . .

[Raul_Perez]

Very nice, Virgil!!

Are you going to build any kind of a base for it?

What's next???

Later,

[made007]

i like the horns where they were, but it looks good

[Guest Gramps-xrds]

Virgil, I gotta say this for you. Your builds are always interesting Maybe a little out in left field sometimes, but I like it.You have one unique way of looking at things It's always a pleasure seeing what you've come up with. Keep it up.
