This was my first adult-built hot rod model from 5 years ago. Revell kit, took me about 3 months. Chopped, channeled, Z'ed. What a blast. Inspired by Weesner's 'Choppers Burbank' t-shirt art. Skull shift knob is off a HotWheels RigorMotor.   Engine is the AMT Olds from a '40 Ford. Headers are hollow metal necklace pcs. from Michael's.  Blanket seat cover and t-shirt are printed on an ink jet printer and glued in.   |

I never would have guessed that this was a First Build. The printed T-shirt and blanket is a great idea. Very cool man!

HOLY CRAP, this thing is kool! I've thought of doing the same build, 'cuz I've got that T-shirt too. Weesner's art is VERY inspirational, and I think you done him proud. ;D

Matt, I've never seen this build before. Really cool. Considering I'm probably 25 years older than you, I still don't think you're an adult.  |

Matt, this build has so much going for it. I don't remember seeing it before, but now I can see it all the time. Love the Tshirt, btw. Great detail, and the blanket is cool too.

Sweet and simple look! I love the clever license plate!
Man, Only 5 yrs! I would have thought you had been building hot rods for ages... You always nail the look!
All of our wives would agree that we haven't grown up! ;D
