Cranky you never cease to amaze

[Danno]

Nifty!

Holding breath . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

Got all the parts painted yesterday and they dried overnight. I also started the chipping--which is slow, slow, slow tedious work--on the wheels.

And the gas tank . . . the next bit of fun is to chip the rest of the vehicle and then begin the weathering process . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

The chipping is slow and fun AND the results are pretty good. Here's a close up of one of the wheels.

[Killa]

Awsome,Virgil,just looks awsome really nice work

[David G.]

Sir, I envy your skills.

[Dr. Cranky]

Thank you . . . I just finally finished spraying all the paint, not it's time to do the chipping. Oh and that's a lot of chipping . . . I am going to time myself to see just how many hours it takes to chip an entire junker . . . stay tuned in . . .

[Foxer]

A little rust research is in order . . .

OMG! Was there a sign on this saying "for review by Cranky"? It looks like all YOUR cabs in a row!

[Dr. Cranky]

LOL. If only. I still have ways to go before I catch up to Nature's great job on weathering!

[samdiego]

Tell the story behind the awesome grotesque on the hood, please.

[Dr. Cranky]

Sam, it's a WARHAMMER bit from the spares parts box, I think it's from a Skaven army set.

I believe it's a rat's head with goat horns . . .go figure.

[Dr. Cranky]

Made a bit more progress with the rusting and the weathering process . . . this one is getting close . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

Here are a few more . . .

[Tony T]

Looks like you are giving Mother Nature a run for her money! Wow, very cool weathering!

[Foxer]

This is looking great ... I especially like the end of the running board.

[Deckerz]

Very nice work

I love these old early 30's to late 30's fords ever since i first saw the tv show american hotrod.

I expecialy like that dragons head on the hood.

[Dr. Cranky]

Thank you. Here are some more progress pics . . . enjoy . . .

[Danno]

Perfect!

[Dr. Cranky]

Hey, Marty, you just won the jackpot with 777 in the number of posts!

Off topic- '777' is one of my favorite Danzig tunes.

Now load up the deck with a big ol' turkey deep fryer held to tiedown rings on the deck(with plenty of fat splatter all over the deck) and a couple of cases of beer, build yourself a few folding patio chairs, and you got yourself a diorama! Have turkey, will travel!

Just in time for Thanksgiving!
