raymanz Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) This is a little 41Chevy Rat truck that was done after a truck I seen on the Hub Garage.(ExtremmeTrucks garage. The past-owner said it looks just like his truck did when it was shipped to California.Some key note are the added 50chevy rear fenders,scratch built air tank in bed and the duct-tape on seat.Thanks&Hope ya like it,he sure did.

raymanz Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) That's awesome, I really like the grille. Thanks Joe,I cut each slat and man I'm telling you what a pain. It broke right as I was doing the last one -Go Figure! But since it's weathered you can't see the break. pic of the real truck it was modeled after.Thanks again-Ray Edited May 15, 2011 by raymanz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Soooooo cool! Not a big Chevy guy, but I do like the '41-'46 trucks. (Used to have a '46, actually.) Killer job on the rust and weathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work on this one! Roger,first off-Thanks and secondly you should give weathering a try.After a while it get's to the point-the more you screw'm up the better they look.Give it a try and if you have any questions drop me a p/m and I'll try and help.

deathskull59 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 oh and by the way you can go try that real rusting weather job. or you can also just melt parts of the body with a liter. and add lots of junk parts to it. and spray or hand paint it rust colors and primer and the cars paint job to give it a weather rust look. and then wen your done just dull coat it alot so its flat and not shiny. it all ways works for me!! you should try it though rodger.
