i had this chassis in ok shape has extra holes and its scratched up with old clear tape peices on the bottom, so i thought it would be a good start for anther ratrod.

Where did you find those wheels?


This is going to be cool!

[hugger19]

ebay they are 1/8 scale wheels/tires from a monogram or revell hot rod model. best part was they were painted blk and molded in red so i gave em a weathered look very easily

[hugger19]

screwed the back to the front of the wheels today and mounted the frt axle.

[SFC K]

That looks sweet! Looking forward to seeing how the back end looks now!

[hugger19]

well i got the rear wheels mounted now. this time i wanted to use a tamiya semi rear axle, just have to find a way to mount it now. iam going to use a 53 ford pickup body on this one. flt blk with some stickers time on the body. thats why i went with the semi axle to tuck the wheels inside the body.

[hugger19]

got the rear end all mounted up and added some fake rear shocks just for looks.

very cool, the "weathered look "is something I love and wish I had the talent to do it. lucky me alot of my stuff is already weathered naturally haha

got the parma 53 ford body today. its a nice thick plastic, but come on parma the rear bed is a bubbled on one side. geez can u buy anything worth a s--t these days???

[Diamond Dave]

Plastic?

[hugger19]

well i tried to fix parma's f up with my heat gun and well its worse. just sent parma a long unhappy email on their quality. i guess the dent will add to the rat rod look

[Mr. ED]

Plastic?

Yup, lexan, or polycarbonate is a thermoplast.

This is a major work in progress. I bought a new 1/8 scale T bucket model which has 3 ways to build it so eventually this will get some work done to it.

Awesome reminder for me of of those old 1/8 scale sets! I did the Monogram Deuce Ford when I was little. You could do it leaving the fenders and much of the chrome in the box..
