Rusty 1980 Monte Carlo another crusty one.

And yet another one done up rusty but trusty. My friend Jeff will drop this on a slot car chassis. I added a masking tape vinyl landau top. Lots of powders, and dull coat.

Never been a fan of the 80s Monte's, but you did this one right! Good work!

[Darbo]

I like it nice and low!

[Chris White]

so cool, could sit lower though

[kingiguana]

Thanks for the comments guys. The wheels and tires are only for mock up / pics. It will find its way on to a slot car chassis after my friend pics it up this evening. I have a few other kits here I'm doing for him in a rusty crusty barn find look. I haven't done a shiney one in quite sometime. He likes them crusty since the track glue gets on them anyway, so he would just end up spending all his time cleaning and polishing them.

That will look great whipping around a track! Super cool!

[kingiguana]

Actually most of ones I do for him are drag race only cars.. They do race oval and road course cars. They run both 1/8th and 1/4 scale drags.

I like it, really good weathering and details.

Where did you get those mag wheels? I'm looking for a set for a project.

[slusher]

Nice work Joe, very cool...

[kingiguana]

Im not sure where the wheels came from. The fronts are from the AMT/ERTL 41 Ford Woody Wagon, I think. The Cragars are from some AMT kit most likely, maybe the Baldwin Motion Camaro ? All I know is the came out of my parts box.

Very rusty build I like it

[geras24]

Very good job here, I like the details in the roof looks very real... congrats

[kingiguana]

Thanks again guys. Now on to the next rusty one. If I ever work on one of my projects, it will be a miracle.

[Danno]

Good job.

Hmm, if a ragged hot rod is a rat rod, does that make this a rat rider? I really like this. It looks like a kid found an old beat up car and is doing modifcations to it as he can afford them. Joe, I truely respect the work you put into this. It is representative of something we really might see out and about some average Saturday.
