1929 ford roadster pick-up ratrod

[crazyrichard]

just shot 2 pics outside , also sanded the edges all around a bit so i can give that a slightly different wash for some variation

just did a nother round on the roadster

fitted a moontank i still had , it was crisp but i roughed it up just a tad to match the roughness of the car better , gave it aa base silver coat .

i will add a fuelcap and fuelline later on

also cleaned up the rims edges some more , gave the axle struts a little silver layer (more washed) and gave the rocker covers

a bit of chrome (only the top layer)

crappy evening light pic >>

decided to tone down the rust / brown and do more chrome , changed the ugly headlights for larger ones and did them chrome already put electric wires on them just need to direct them along the engine to the firewall

then made a first set up for the fuell line out of the moontank , drilled a hole and glued in a piece of plastic where the grey hose you see fits in , so it has some depth and looks nicer , the plan is to cut the grey hose right after where it comes out so only a tiny bit sticks out and thenm add a thinner fuelhose inside the grey hick hose

maybe i even put on a chrome sidevieuw mirror (top end side of the windowframe) and chrome doorhandles to break the brown)

also will make the sprak plug wires red

cleaned up some stuff today and made the spark plug wires red .. some better daylight pics

some close ups

[crazyrichard]

installed the headers , i will ad mufflers to these wich run along the front side of the cab

also put a radiator cap with wings on the radiator , i liked it as a added details

with all the goodies its now coming to life a bit :mrteeth:

back in the bed i will be doing some nice details also

I didn't build this but I've owned it for a while. It was nice enough that I didn't dump it into the parts box but it sure could use a rebuild. You've given me inspiration! Yours looks super!

[crazyrichard]

cool thats the exact same kit is my guess everything looks exactly the same ..

and yes go for it its really so much fun to really redo a already build kit

[crazyrichard]
