cchapman195 Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Here is my first Rat Rod. I just finished it last night. Thx to the forums here, I was able to get a lot of help and insperation for it. Next is a rust bucket. Cross yer fingers, I'm scared lol.
Grumpa Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Are you kidding? The finish on this is amazing! After pouring through this "Topic", I couldn't resist throwing a few photo's of my '32 into the mix. I hope it holds up to some of the builds in the previous pages. 'Cause they're amazing! The "Rat Rod" genre is definately alive and well amongst the model builders! Some Great "Rats" Guys!

rmvw guy Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I think I might need another Tetanus shot after looking at Brendan's '32. Cool!
geetee66 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I love this hobby!!! So much talent, imagination and creativity out there. I shy away from stock models and racecars that need to be built the 'correct' way. I appreciate technical accuracy and so-on, but rods, rat or otherwise, allow for much greater scope of originality. So, with that in mind, I decided to have a go at a rat rod. Here's my attempt: I just realized that the clue is in the topic title...and it's not friday today. I hope it's not a capital offence.
RedBanditCustoms Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I've built these two. I have also one in the bench. First one, '32 Ford Roadster, chopped sectioned, channeled, frame built from scratch, trunk lid built from some other trunk lid, it's built longer and lots of bodywork done to the body. Front axle scratchbuilt, interior floor pretty much modifications and engine is of course Ford Flathead with some details. This one has won a few prices in local modelcar shows too. And the other is '29 Ford, frame is also built from scratch, so on so on... Now these rods are my style! You really gave them a great style. Way to go!
RedBanditCustoms Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 that flaming skull is baddass,very cool jim Id have to agree with you jim, It looks wicked!

I love the Flathead and it has all the other right components to make an awesome ride. I just realized that the clue is in the topic title...and it's not friday today.

Wish I could weather things like you do ( guess I will have to start trying) Thanks Andy!! yea give weathering a try man, once you do, you wont want to build a model that isnt weathered. at least thats how it worked for me. any questions you have at all dont be afraid to ask...
