here ya go haha! not going crazy, basically trying to save the car and make something out of it. I want it to look like a "daily use" hot rod with rust, dirt and grease! Shot the motor with a gold flake which will end up getting grimy looking, left the oil pan alone with the chrome missing and glue cuz it looks like oil, interior tub is in and firewall is on...updates to come.

...and I have tried buying the actual kit and it keeps getting to expensive. Charles. yeah it will be expensive to buy a complete unbuilt one.. i can't remember where i got this one, it might have been ebay not sure... it was somewhat a blue bomb , but the windows were not glued in! there is some filing and shaving to get the glue off so it kinda looked like a good candidate for making an in progress rod. The engine is going to get greasy thanks to Bud Ellis telling me what he used on his rusty ford.

what ya think? the wheels look good? they are not exactly in right spot sitting there mockup... they could be "used and worn" if chosen for this build. Hosted on Fotki

Y. Those wheels are much better. Weathering is great, but I think you went too far over those extremely rare 1 off decals by Randy.
