ULTIMATE SCRATCHBUILD: 1:12 Hot Rod-Updated 03/12/06
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.

Lots of work, lots and lots of work. And lots of pounding. I hope it turns out well, still have a very long way to go.
I need to find some one with a planish hammer to smooth out those bumps, sadly the metal shop I work at over the summer is 1000miles away and has one. Then I will need to find a bit for it.

Re: ULTIMATE SCRATCHBUILD: 1/12 Hot Rod (Progress)

i think its sweet that u are willing to put so much effort to creat ur own model, i think it would be great if everything on this car was built be u, nothing bought premade

I am heavily contimplating scratchbuilding and engine. Lots of work, lots of detail. I will also be machining the wheels at school with a CNC machine. Then resin casting the rims (maybe). Then if I do decide to scratchbuild the engine, everything except for the tires will have been built by me. And trust me I would make tires except I do not have the proper equipment to do so, otherwise yea. Design on CAD and Machine. Quote:

Re: ULTIMATE SCRATCHBUILD: 1/12 Hot Rod (Progress)
Great idea, i hope you pull it off. You should check out some of Gerald Wingrove's book's on this sort of car modeling and working with metal. Crop up on ebay from time to time.
