jeff f Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Last August I was in Kauai on a family vacation . I packed along a model project . A Beach Boys 32 frame , 30 ford body parts , Boot Hill drive train pieces , and a few tools. In my spare time I got the parts mocked up. Thanks for looking in. Jeff
wayne swayze Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Nice even chop. You're off to a real good start.
jeff f Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 I added some alum. rim detail to the Boot Hill wheels.
slusher Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Stone cold cool project. Great looking wheels and project..
jeff f Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 OK , I'm in Kailua-Kona now . And I brought the tiki project along to work on. Painted everything Rust-o-Leum Aged copper. Added Koa wood strips to the opened roof.
bpletcher55 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Ilike it , those wheels look good I would have thought that the front wheels would be to big but that looks ok . nice job .love the color !
dino246gt Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Kona Coffee, what's not to like? I love it, the hot rod I mean, oh and the java too!
DrKerry Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Um,,,....... um....... um,,,,,,, Sa-weet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jeff f Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Thanks for the kind words. Yes those Boot Hill 12 spokes are way out of scale, a 1967 mistake. We have Really Really good coffee here. I'm about out of parts for now, will finish it when I get home. Thanks for your time. Jeff
KeithJackson Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Looks good. Glad to see that I am not the only one who has worked on a model while on vacation. Some of my wife's friends about died when they found out that I had bought, and worked on, a model during my honeymoon.
Twokidsnosleep Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Glad to hear I am not nuts I brought a 1/32 Bugatti on our vacation to Kailua, Oahu for these two weeks I broke the brass cross member attachments last night first time I touched the build....realized I am woefully unprepared to model here Your rat rod looks awesome. Gonna have some Tikis on the doors?? Carved and painted this one out of leather, one of my other hobbies Love the classic Tiki look with hot rods Edited March 13, 2015 by Twokidsnosleep
jeff f Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 LOL. Most people do think we're nuts. Hope to do tiki art on the doors.
DrKerry Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I like the look of the front runners on it!!!!!!!
crazyrichard Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 looking awsome , style and color choices are spot on !!
bpletcher55 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I,m really liking this ! like Richard said spot on!
jeff f Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 I just finished up this project. Made some retro headlamps and a fuel tank. Just in time for Modelfest tomorrow woo!!!
FullPowerGarage Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Wow allmost EXACTLY the way I would've done it! I only would have put those original headlights, but that's taste. You've done an awesome job!
misterNNL Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 The headlights look like the Woodhull lights from the 1920's.What did you make them from? I like the overall agressive look of this build including the cowl mounted steering and the open slatted roof.
