crazyjim Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Somebody needed to build a SHINY :) Rommel's Rod. Here's one converted to a surf rod. The body was shortened 1" and the seats and BB Chevy are my castings. The paint is HOK cocoa pearl. And now I'm off to the VA hospital for some overnight tests.
TooOld Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Really sharp looking Jim ! Those kits really lend themselves to being modified into all kinds of hot rods . By the way , Your seats look pretty nice ! Edit - Nice and SHINEY ! Edited November 29, 2012 by TooOld

crazyjim Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks so much, guys. I've been planing this build for years in my head.
Chuck Most Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 I never get tired of seeing these built- maybe because NOBODY builds them right out of the box as the intended subject! Very nice.
