Not a rat rod or neo-traditional rat (shiny rat rod) fan per se, but your work is out of the ballpark! Impressive details and techniques used to attain them, I'll be watching this one for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Your soldering work is excellent and your woodwork is just as good ---- both in scale ---- nice combination of different materials to yield an outstanding model!!!

I am not at all sure how I missed this project, but I am glad I found it. Looking forward to seeing more. Really enjoying your styling.

BTW, WHERE did you get the nuts and bolts? I have looked online and I cannot find them.

Hello Guys!

All parts already primed and drying...

When I applied the primer, some imperfections showed up and had to return to work since the beginning. Let's move on...

The same happened with the body... Treatment, sanding, sanding and more sanding...

Separation and painting ultra-glossy black all parts that will be "metallic" or receive the metallic paints. With this, we will have the most realistic painting of "metals"...

And ending with the body all ready to receive its final color...

Valve covers with Alclad Chrome. This was the first time I did...

Here seats also with Alclad Chrome very lightly... Not wanted "full chroming", only a small charge for after I do the weathering and special effects...
