Well, I really like working with metal and I really like hot rods. Let me put this into an equation: Love to work with Metal + Love for Hot Rods=One Scratchbuilt 1/12 Hot Rod.

Started off with a flat piece of 16 Gauge steel, made a template out of poster board, traced onto metal, cut it out. Then comes the tricky part. Now its time to pound the hell out of it with a couple different tools to try and shape it. Lots of hard work, I have one side panel about 80% shaped and that took about 4-6hours of non stop pounding. Needless to say the parents are going a little psycho.

Here are the pics so far, its not much. Its a slow process, slowww process.
