34 Ford Hot Rod Truck

[Smart-Resins]

Alright, here is my primer Rod build, Lindburgs 34 truck. It was a paint/glue bomb when I got it from Virgil. I never did get everything off. LOL. But that helped with this patina! LOL. I z'd the stock chassis and shortened it in the rear.I modified the engine mounts and made a new tranny mount. I had to cut the cross members and modify them. I chopped the top a scale 6" and sectioned it a scale 6" and channeled it a scale 4". I added a suicide front drop tube axle and modified the stock rear axle so it would accept ladder bars. It will ride on white walls with slicks in the rear. I did most all of the mods last night durring a all nighter! Now today I have shot it with grey primer then black primer then green primer. I have now done the salt trick. Waitiing to scuff it out, add the M.A.S.H. decals and weather it! I will be powered by a 60,s hemi yet to still build. Hardest part left is to scratch a interior. Heres pics as of this morning. Jody

Here it is as of this afternoon!

pretty cool, interiors are pretty easy to do, just take your time and make it out of paper first

Here is a quick update. I copied a picture off of the net and resized it, then I printed it onto white decal paper. Now I woke up early this morning, so I busted out Uncle Ben and I weatherd the cab and bed. Then I rusted them. After that was all dry, I applied the decals to each door. Now once they were set, I went to do a light rusting on them(unshaken container so it was mostly alcohol. However, it started to wrinkle the decal! man did I get upset quick! That was not the effect I wanted! However, then I realized these would have been possibly old stickers if they were not painted on, and I realized old stickers do peal and curl over. So I decided it was perfect! LOL. Then I did the next side. Rolling right along. Next job besides finishing the chassis and starting on the grill surround is taking the wheels I really want to use and sand them, paint on the white walls then weather them! Hopefully by the end of tomorrow I will have a finished rolling chassis? Jody

I think I got pieces and parts of one of these from a friend of mine, hmmmmmm, gives me an idea! Nice work so far.

That rust is so convincing that I'm convinced this is a steel model.
