the seat cover is from the '29 3-n-1 rat rod kit. its a decal that has dullcoat on it.

It's a beauty!

Here are some details of the build- started with the Revell 1937 Ford truck, as soon as I seen the kit, it was on like neck-bone. Chopped the top, channeled the body and shortened the frame(thats why there is no bed) Looking through my kits and mags, I found the engine in the '50 Ford truck, which is a flathead V-8 with Ardun heads,(Tonioseven, the nailhead is going in my '34 Ford phonebooth rat wrecker) I used 30ga roof flashing for the door panels, floorpan, and inside as a headliner. The driveshaft is scratchbuilt and so are the dice on the dash, cut out the glovebox just to add to it. Painted it B-B-Q Stove black and grey primer. the headlights are from another kit and so are the shocks. So if you ever read about a rat-rod and you will see that there are many parts from other cars on them. These things are built to be light and go fast. Thanks!

Thats cool I might wan't to do that with one of my kits.

[SpoonMan Dos]

That is very cool! I like everything from the stance, to the detailed engine, even down to the wheels. Great job, can't wait to see more of your creations.

nive paint and detailing. just impressive.

[tonioseven]

It's a classic!! I'm glad I could be of any help with the project!! Keep up the awesome work!!

[dreamwerks]

Damn dude, you must have like 4 people working these models you've been showing us. The attention to detail is amazing, it looks way real, just like the others. Keep up the good work

Pretty nice for a rat rod. I like the detail and the parts choices.

Though I'd like to see you do some stuff in the vein of the California Kid.
