1932 Ford Rat Rod
I always love looking at these things at car shows so I decided to make one of my own. It's a Revell 32' ford 3 window coupe, looks like a pretty easy kit. So far I have created a custom sun visor, replaced the stock motor with a 440 Charger motor left over from a 2 in 1 kit, chopped the top and made weld lines.
It was my first time doing a chop and weld lines, I tried to make the welds look a little "rough". I am happy with the results. Stock engine block vs. the replacement. A mock up of what it will look like finished And with a coat of primer Thanks for looking, comments welcome |

Re: 1932 Ford Rat Rod
welds look like a kid in high school welding class did this as a favor. haha, I guess that's what you are going for though.
I love the visor! can't wait to see more.

Re: 1932 Ford Rat Rod
Got the body painted and weathered today. Gave it a surfacer, put a base coat of flat black, added the rust weathering, and painted the welds silver. I tried adding a pin striping decal I had from another kit but It was too glossy and just didn't look right.

Re: 1932 Ford Rat Rod
Great looking 3 window. I am working on the same kit . I also chopped mine. Opened the doors too. I am using the stock engine block but with a custom intake I made.

Re: 1932 Ford Rat Rod
When i saw the first pic of the weathering, i said "oh hell..." but then I saw the rest and said, "man that looks awesome!"
I love this style. Keep it up! Andy |

The first picture was just with a surfacer to give it a rough texture. Thanks all for the comments. |

Re: 1932 Ford Rat Rod
Sry I havn't updated in a while. I've been busy with school and havn't really had time to upload pics and post them. I have gotten quite a bit done though. Finished the motor, interior, and a few other things. This project is taking alot longer than I thought it would. I've had to pretty much modify every part, if you can't tell by all the plastic shavings, lol.
Its almost done. Thanks for looking Coments welcom and what it looks like so far... |

Re: 1932 Ford Rat Rod
Dude... I love the F*CK out of that intake... that just looks so cartoonishly awesome, it's like an Ed Roth drawing.

Re: 1932 Ford Rat Rod
The rusty bare metal bodywork looks incredibly realistic - what was done after the black coat of paint?
Can't wait to see more on this project!!!
