The Snot Rod 29' 12/22

[Alyn]

I get the impression you're having a lot of fun with this one, Cory.

The dash looks good. I assume real wood?

[crazyrichard]

well that wood on the outside of the bed , the dash that really brings more variation in the whole car !! , looks awsome this way

i would almost say makea wooden frame on the roof see through like with no outer skin in the same wood / color

that way it will all tie in together

the diamond idea for the roof is also cool but making it a wood frame > hmm i think that would look sooo good

[dimebolt]

Thanks Alyn, and Richard.

Yes Alyn, I'm having a blast with this one.

All of the wood is real, from a 1/16th thick sheet of veneer laminate.

Richard,

I have been actually tossing around that very idea also.

I think it would look great also.

Got the fuel lines ran, roof boughs made and installed, going to cut down some thin wooden strips to cover them.

Also got the cab mounted, and shifter, and steering column with turn signal lever installed.

Thanks for looking.

Every update makes this build that much cooler. The wood on the bed sides is a great touch, I love seeing an over the top style build like this once in a while!

[dimebolt]

Thanks Mike.

This is my first rod, so I'm just trying out a bunch of ideas I've had brewing for a while.

Just trying to make it as nice, and unique as I can.

Corey

[crazyrichard]

yes looks great with the wood on the roof

[dimebolt]

Thanks Richard. Corey

Finally got the chance to get some more done tonight.

Scratchbuilt a battery with a wooden top cover, still have to add terminals, and wiring.

Added a set of ladder bars. Got the radiator shell, and grill mounted. Ran the rest of the fuel line.

Added pulleys, belts, and alternator.

Thanks for looking.

Corey

[crazyrichard]

awsome !! , the battery is really big its almost the size of an engine block maybe make a real small version ?

[dimebolt]

Thanks Richard.

Yeah man, I noticed that after I got it built, lol.

I'll get another one made.

[vintagedragfan]

[dimebolt]

Yeah Bill everything's great, thanks for asking. Have been really busy, and haven't had hardly any time to build in the last few weeks, but will be back on it soon.

Here is the set of headers I made for it tonight.

This was a tricky set to make.

A set of custom "Braided" headers, made from what looks to be solder, and on a Hemi, this is my kinda model and a GREAT modeler to make that all happen. LOVE the work on the fenders man!
