Chopped Ford rod

[Mooneyzs]

This is a totally cool Project. I am digging this Rat Rod! I like the steelies with white walls. I also like the idea that you are gonna go with a Matte color. Think the root beer color will look awesome.

Thanks for the interest. Was hoping to get a little done on this, but getting my winter car ready seems to be takin more time than I originally planned. Soon enough..

Lookin good!!!

Love following this one...the decision process on the frame, wheel/tire combos, radiator, etc has been interesting to say the least. Lots of possibilities. Cool stuff.

Very cool build. I like the thread and following through your thought process. The stops and starts are interesting, not unlike my own projects! And I really like that Turbo 4 going in there. I have one tucked away for such a project someday!

Making progress slowly, a little more work on the chassis, and started the rear suspension. Letting everything set up real good before I get everything permanently cut and mounted.

Lookin good!!!!

Very nice!!

Thanks guys, finished the rear arms, got the rear axle narrowed and mounted. Once that dries, Ill make the rest of the link mount on the frame, and make the bags/mounts for the rear so its got something solid to mount to.

very very nice !!!!

Nice to watch you work through the process. I have several projects going, but I am bad about taking pictures and posting updates. I need a better camera to keep me motivated on that, but it sure does make the process of watching over someone elses shoulder much more enjoyable.

[exesivefire]

making progress, however slow it might be...

Like my frame jig?

bags mounted, lotta work for something that probably wont be seen..

panhard next...

[exesivefire]

really happy with how this is turning out, I'm pushing myself a bit on this one. I think I am at my stopping point for the night.

Got most of the rear suspension done, still have some various little bits to handle, but the major stuff is there.

[exesivefire]

couldn't resist mocking it up again.

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Very nice design work on the bag job. What are you using for the bags? I bought a bunch of various sizes of tiny rubber O rings.

[exesivefire]

Thanks, I just kinda played around with it till I got something I was happy with. The bags are just craft beads, I cleaned them up, drilled them out and stuffed a 1/8th styrene rod through them to make them solid.

Bagged, seriously? Now that's just wrong on this thing. And that is why I like it so much. Cool build... can't believe I hadn't seen this before now. Keep up the great work!
