It's either gonna have flathead V8 or a Buick nailhead!! I done one in flat black already, maybe a rusted out silver or flat yellow/green!!

Nice project
Can't wait for more

Just a question, the white walls tires, do they come from the Ford amigo pack? I know anybody else asked it but I haven't seen any answer. Maybe am I blind

I'm interested in white walls tires aswell, I've a project (far in my backhead) of a beetle, without fenders, top choped, split bus roof (shortened), ... I'm in a kind of a hot rod mood for the moment

Do you know Blitzkrieg Racing ??

[ol' dude]

The tires are from the Revell '29 ford rat-rod kit!! I really like these tires. The rims are from the '32 Amigo kit by Revell!! I am going to do some rusting out tonight!!

Looking forward to seeing this one in person.

gonna be a killer ride!!!

[ol' dude]

Made some progress today!! I got the rust primer on, the doors opened, and some rust-through spots! I am thinking a green color w/ no suicide doors! I will use some baking soda and rubber cement to let the rust show through. Here's what I got so far!!











Thanks, Dennis (FEEDBACK WELCOME)

Hey Dennis, how did you do the rust it looks great!

[ol' dude]

Mike, I took a round headed bit and the dremel, and ate at the plastic from the backsibe. Once the plastic was thin enough, I took my knife and cut away!! I will take some rubber cement and cover the hole, paint it, then pull the rubber cement off, and the rust color will show through!!

Great work.
Getting the paint looking old and rusty is art you've mastered ol' dude. I always look forward to your ratty rod builds.

[ol' dude]

Well I got the body about where I want! I still have to put my rust washes on it, but I will do that more toward the end of the build! I started the hinges for the doors, will get those on soon, then install the motor!! Heres what i got-









Thanks, Dennis

Looks great. That weathered paint looks perfect. Let's see what else you've got for it.
