Jantrix Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I certainly can't fault your building skills or your cleverness in buying the sign. I've used them as well. That being said, the average width of a frame rail on a real 1:1 hot rod is about three inches. So if one millimeter is one inch in scale, your frame rails are how wide?

rocsas2 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 i have started to work on it again this will get finished before my others. i have put white wall slicks on the back and worked little on the interior. ihave made a dash out of a old econiline dash its preety cool. i havent changed the framerail widthe becouse i like the width. i put it against a original frame and it looks about right. they are just a bit taller.the engine was actually a pontiac. i put a couple little things on it. i changed the body to the point of not recognizing it. i chopped the top extremely and channeled it and made a fire wall. i will cut out the doors and trunk and make new ones out of metal and that way they will open. i will post pickks soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
