Progress: '49 Ford

Here is a quick build of the AMT 1949 Ford. After spending alot of time on a kit, I like to do a quick build!! So I do not get burned out! The '49 is painted semi-gloss black over red-oxide primer. It will get the rust treatment!! So really this is another rat-rod without the extra work.. This will be curbside since I stole the motor already!! ENJOY!!!!!!!

Yeah I have seen your Merc, and it looks good!! The '50 you have there looks very cool! Maybe I will do a full blown custom with a shiny paint job one day? Very cool!!!!!!!

yea i hope to finish the merc by the end of next week. Things have been quite slow i broke my hand . But any ways the merc, is going to be Duplicolor Deep Cranberry Pearl.

Dennis doing a quick build? Dennis going curbside? Dennis doing shiny paint? What the hell is this world coming too?

Looks good man. Will this be at the meeting Im hoping to attend on Sunday?

well I have to say it looks very sleek after one day work, wondering what it will be like when it's finished, are you doing a flame job?


Oh and are those the rims that come with the kit?

Oli

Extremely sweet!!

Thanks for the replies so far, I will do the interior tonight, and maybe a flame on the hood? Who knows??????????

These wheels come from the '29 Ford 3-n-1 rat kit!! The wheels are awesome and the whitewalls are even better! Everytime Hobby-Lobby has a 1/2 off sale, I buy the kit just for the wheels.The other kit that has these wheels is the '31 Ford 2-n-1 Sedan!!

bigfrit beat me to it re the wheels. They look awesome. Will have to get one of those kits for the wheels etc.
Any chance of a How To on the Rust effect? Couldn't see one there when I looked.
Should look great when finished. Loved your Rat Rod.
Cheers

Many Thanks! I will look forward to it. Love the"Ol Skool Rodz" magazine and website. I am 42 years old but I have just about read the print off the August/September Issue. You just can't beat a good Willys or a Rat Rod.

Lookin good !!!

Great job so far Dennis. I'm looking forward to seeing this one also.

why do like rat rods and rusty customs n shit like that, why dont you build a nice hot rod with like a cndt paint job and shiny engine or somthing?

Why do you like nice paint jobs and shiny engines?

It´s a matter of taste, said the dog while licking his balls..:D

What's it to you on what I build? Let me guess, you like stuff that is pretty and cute and things like fuzzy bunnies and shit like that? If you do not like my builds or question the manner in what I build, DO NOT POST ON MY THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here yuppie, choke on these-

Thanks for the replies!! Dennis

LOL!! I like your Rat Rods.....(backs away slowly);)

That looks nice! i like al your rods!

Loves all your Rod's even if they are rusted ones.
to you others that complain I do tend to find the old rusted one's have just as much character if not more somethimes than just a plain shiney build

Some people just don't get it!

Cool stuff...(shiny and not).

:headshake

Your models rock, I too would love a how to on rusting. I love old rat rods, and this one looks like its gona be great, dont say its curbside, say someone stole the engine..

Ha the bondo touch gave me a chuckle! It looks really good so far. Keep up the good work!

^injected ever think that maybe thats just what ol' dude like? I mean you do not need to get all offended because he makes rat rods. Alot of people like them here.

Your builds are all damn awesome, dude. Keep it up.

What the hell are you worried over what someone else builds when you can't even spell? :shakehead

Look up the word "character". Make sure you understand the difference between what that word is and how it describes Dennis' models, vs. how it describes you...or your lack of it when making moronic statements. :icon16: :smooch:

Has it been three days yet Ol' Dude? ;)

I'll build a ratrod one day just to be able to say "I've built everything from a black 63 Impala lowrider with chrome plated undercarriage ( ;) The Tre strikes again) to a rusted out Rat Rod with flat white paint."

Who doesn't like rods of this type? (Ol' dude forgive me for posting this in your thread.)

Just gotta show some support for this type stuff. Love your Ford so far, those steelies just look great under those fenders - I've yet to see them somewhere they don't look awesome.

Willimo, what kit is that? It looks cool!!

Yes it has been 3 days!! I have been very busy and no time to work on my car!! It will be finished tonight I hope! Thanks for all of your support on my ratty builds, I really appreciate it. Thanks, Dennis!!!!!!!!

Love all Rat Rods and your 41 Willys Dennis. Man if I saw a R34 Skyline with full body kit (take your choice of brand) alongside a Rat Rod I would look at the Skyline with interest but wish I owned the Rat. Skylines are a dime a dozen here where I am, with just a colour difference whereas Rat Rods are a persons heart and soul. They show imagination and heart. Enough said.
