Ok maybe it isn't gonna be so rat rod..but more of a Traditional hot rod. Got this..along with a pro street 67 chevelle and a lindberg dodge 330 ram chargers, for only 25 bucks with shipping! ALSO GOT ME THIS CAMERA! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830111217 Just waiting for it to arrive in the mail. All that said.. I'm hoping this build lets me get back to building for myself. of course I still paint slot cars..and am doing so at this moment, but I have not built anything since the 64 chevy truckster..which still needs to be built! Il have shots in a bit..

Nice camera! and its a DSLR, lots you can do with that. Now you can take lots more pictures for us. I'd want one just because its got a "Supersonic Wave Filter" |

Haha totally. The way the wave filter works is it vibrates the mirror..shaking the dust off, it works great from what Ive read. Having a good camera now means Il go to downtown here and snap shots of the cobblestone streets that date back to the 1800's |

Staying as stock as I can get with in the kit, don't wanna cut up that many kits with this build. Chassis will get z'd and the cab will be moved forward a tad, to get that engine seated properly.

Yea, I love it. Im gonna save up for a macro lens though, it will be much sharper across the whole image. Normally Id use a white backround but.. white kit parts are hard to take pictures of lol. Still messing with this thing..lots to learn. Hey where is your 29 ford thread? Edited by Ryan Silva, Apr 10 2009, 08:20 PM.

Thanks fellas  I did not have 2x4mm styrene strip, only 1x4 so I doubled up. It has a severe Z on the front frame half. Not sure where my firewall will start. It has about 2 scale inches of ground clearance. The bed will be cut shorter..but will still be fairly long. As for bodies..Im not sure what I will use. I can use the roadster pickup body..or the full cab that you can see, I weathered up and chopped the top off (4 years ago) The texture is baking soda.

Today My package arrived. I won a few "lots" on ebay. 2 -50 chevy pickups -incomplete for 5 bucks, The lot of 1929 Model A trucks..was only 12 bucks. This was the gold mine.. 8 cabs, 4 chassis and around 3- 4cyl engines. Last collection is 2 - '26 Model T's. one sedan, the other a panel. These will get stripped...Plenty of rats in the future.  now I can get to building
