traditional Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Taking advantage of a lazy day here in Ottawa, I took some time today trying to shoot my favorite rods together.......all traditional hot rods, extensively modified from 1/24 diecasts, and all have been shown here before separately. I found it quite difficult to maintain enough depth of field to keep them all in focus and, of the many I tried, only these three shots came out reasonably well. Cad powered '35 Ford Roadster...from a stock '36 Cabriolet. Chevy powered chopped, channelled '33 Ford coupe...........from a full fendered '33. Chevy powered full fendered Deuce 5-window....from a deuce hiboy (FM 'Rockin' Rod') Paint on all the models is custom mixed basecoat/clearcoat, and all the models have custom interiors, super-detailed motors, and complete chassis detail, including brakelines, fuel lines and fabricated detailed suspension.
Phildaupho Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 All very attractive. I sure would like to get a resin cast 35 front end.
High octane Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Wow, what a great bunch of street rods and each of them looks good.
traditional Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 I do not know what the green car is,But i love it. Can ya tell i am not mechanically inclined? Tim, It's a '35 Ford roadster made by grafting the front clip from a 'Crown Premiums' '35 sedan delivery (a cheap diecast model) to the cabriolet body of a stock '36 Ford diecast. Since it's difficult to effectively glue metal to metal permanently, you have to use mechanical means....in this case drilling and pinning.
Dr. Cranky Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Wonderful, thank you for the eye candy. And I love the photographs too. Great job all around.
rmvw guy Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Nice job on diecast models! In some ways I think they are a lot more of a challenge and don't get enough respect. Yours should make a lot of styrene addicts take a look at them more. Nice pictures!
jeffs396 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Awesome work as usual Cliff! Thanks for the tip on the '35 Sedan Delivery!
JMD904 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Cool cars. Thanks for not using the yuppie term "rat-rod". Cool traditionals and my favorite, the Convertible!
