Cool 1931 ford highboy rat rod
Here is my lastest project a 32 ford rat rod in 1/16th scale. went for the fenderless look and a dropped straight front axle. i have to Z the rear frame work abit and shave a few points on the frame and also pinch the frame to fit the fire wall. i hope to spray the first coat of black primer.

Ok well i opted not to Z the frame so i went ahead and channeled the body. after doing that i had to remove the firewall so what i am going to do is use a scrape piece of plastic to make a new flush mounted firewall. with the engine i am going to use brass tubing for the pipes and leave to windshield off. here are three new pics in the first two you can see the before and after of channeling.

Here she is painted. oh btw the instruction booklet with this kit kinda sucks on detail.
