Simply amazing Robert. The rust flakes are awesome.
Those plug wires really make the engine realistic.

Ok guys i am calling the Rat Rod pickup done i could add a lot more details but i am starting to get a little board with it, i am pleased with the build over all and figured i better stop before i mess something up, as with this type of build you start doing one thing and end up with something all together different. There are plenty of pics so check them out and feel free to make any comments.

Overall look of the model looks good--nice touch with the two different styles of mufflers.

...another ratrod build, or what? Mine was a blast, and just having noticed the time extention I could get somewhere with the '29 but with 5 days it would be real close!
