Another tabled project from my End of Year and Yoder contest mock ups.

Again inspired by a build in Drag's rat rod thread, this time by Gear Buster.
Cherry began life as a real turd of a tan HR roadster.

The HR's cockpit was cut out as well as the trunk and rear valence. The modified shell was nothched to accept the new roof pillars. A four gear "A" model panel roof was sectioned to narrow and chopped for height. The new roof section was bonded to what was left of the HR.

Stock grill was removed and a more standard "A" type shell was fabbed from a Tyco Lamborghini front fender/flare. The lower core support is a Ford J rocker reshaped and notched to fit. Double rear window was filed into an oval for giggles.

Typically the chassis is perverted...er I mean converted for ride height. Sitting in t-jet standard red , also unblocked and set aside this fall...so I "fergit" what the guts are but it runs out nice! :rolleyes: :p

Looking forward to getting back to this one!

that is wicked cool buddy, makes me wanna get back into resin casting so i could pop a few of them out for customs here.......any takers?

Nice...
Are you going to add black mesh for a grill or pehaps black out the front post?
Or both...?

Scott

Cool!!! Vey nice job.

Love the rear Oval window Bill,

The whole thing is Wicked Bad man! Hug it and Squeeze it and take it to the Zoo.

Bob...zilla

First off, Thanx guys! Yer all very kind. She's far from finished but the end of year has gone by and I wanted to share some black box projects with y'all.

Nice...

Scott

Yes Scott, Funny you should ask! If you look close at pic2 a relief was routed around the underside of the grill surround. This slot accepts a stainless mesh grill that was prefit early on. Barring any unforseen complications it should slip right in when the time comes.

I vegged this relief cut on the earlier slime green Riddler and had to painstakingly scribe the relief in after the fact...I vowed never again!
Inside grill reliefs are now cut in prior to any grill shell bonding....duuuuuh! :freak:

Bob, The oval window was something I brought back from one of my early Deuces...Planning on a Ford script logo to go on the glass in the final details.

Ed, Ha ha ha lemmee finish it first! Dont think it would be suitable for casting unless you use a slimmy. This chassis is shaved closer than Yul Brynner's brain bucket. LOL. Even with a slimmy the front ride height could potentially be 4X4 as the slimmy doesnt have the truck hole to run the bottomed out drop position. The front wheel and tire selction might be affected in a trickle down effect as well. I'd mock it up but I sent you all my slim line stuff! ;)

Sweet! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

damn, that's cool!

Bill,
Great stuff!!!! Really makes me wish my garage was heated.

Bill you sure can build some outrageous cars-that is sweet!!!! :)

No I didn't Bill...LOL
Looks great there buddy. Love the slammed top . Looks just right at place for a hole in the roof,Rat Fink popping out with a huge shifter. :thumbsup:
Keep'um coming. I'm gettin the bug..GGeezzz I have alot of catchin up to do. :drunk:

Bill Showed me peeks of this car durring the buildup.
I am pleased to see how nicely it has come together!
The proportions are juuust right! :thumbsup: (I don't even mind that it isn't green! :D )

They cant all be green Joe! Isnt pink a shade of green? ;)

Oh yeah ya did Buster! It was a chopped A body in black with red accents with a humongous chrome motor shoehorned in the front. Had to have something similar in T-jet form.

Think I'll pass on the roof hole though :p...That roof section was no easy deal and I coudnt bring myself to jam the moto tool through it...er could I? :rolleyes:

Bill,
Cutting holes in roof 101...
Take dremmel in hand, aim toward roof center, drill hole in center and cut with an outward motion to desired size...
It is that easy.... :freak: LOL
Do you mean this rat...

See knowed it were you! Yeah dats da rat!

Sun roof 101: Insert dremel and shove...hard left...hard right...rotate body 90 dgrees and repeat! LOLOLOLOL!
