aksarben Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Hi everyone. Just got a new camera and thought I would share this recent build . This is from the parts box, the main body is from a 32 Ford I think from about 15 years ago, don't remember the brand. The body work forward of the doors is completely scratch built, including the grill which took about 6 tries to get it where I liked it. Wheels are from the concept Camaro, rears are set in the front wheel shells and tires of the Jada Mustang. Fronts are the Camaro front tires. Engine is the LS from the Wagon Rod. Interior is all scratch built aside from the steering wheel, which is from unkown origin but modified with an aluminum center cap and a fabbed aluminum stalk. The suspension is the one that goes to this body but highly modified, scratch built coilovers, home made rotors up front and various brackets etc. Solder exhaust, scratch built magna flows, aluminum tube tips. Comments, questions, criticisms welcome. Steve

aksarben Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 Cool, thanks for all the great comments everyone! Now we r talking HOT ROD. Thats what its all about. Take an old car and make it look like an european sport car. Cos that was the birth thought of hot roddin right. Wasn't really goin for the European look but I guess that works... Steve
krazyglu Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Whoa now that is a wicked looking model man. I am way to traditional to ever build a street rod, but you guys have once again showed me that sound quality build techniques out way my personal preferences on cars. I love the front shot of the car showing all the detail in the suspension and brakes. It is really hard to put so much attention to detail, yet still have that simple clean street rod look. Impressive Steve and thanks for sharing.
Kustom Rodder Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Very impressive nice details great job.
Heartattaq Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Wow what a sharp build. I really love that front end. Beautiful work.
