View Full Version : Wes's TYCO CUSTOM Rat Rods!!!!!
WesJY 01-20-2009, 05:11 AM Boy.. I never thought I would finish them!! I had this project for a year!! Finally.. All are done on tyco turbo hopper chassis that I got from Bobzilla!! Thanks Bob for that! I wanna to make one on TYCO CHASSIS!!! so I did it!! it wasnt fun and it was kind of pain in the rear! but they all run and looks bad a**!!
All the bodies are from AFX - all were broken and was modified to fit. Blowers, motors, side pipes , and wheels are from diecast/hot wheels. Umm I put brass tubes (its painted in black and i got the idea from mead brothers - hope they dont mind haha) on the front where it holds front axle and wheels. Let me know what you think!
Enjoy!
Wes
