Built something that qualifies as a showrod! Well, anyway, it's on the list. Actually, I finished it in the fall, but cameras are quirky...
I put together the Beverly Hillbillies rod as if Jed had stopped Jethro before he went too far (never quite got into that over-the-top ride).
More like the original had just got spruced up a bit.
Building it this way still left it open for a lot of weathering and drybrushing. The body was painted in primer, then hand-rubbed (literally) to bring out the edges before I sealed it under satin clear.
I think it might actually pass a vehicle inspection now
...
well, not if Granny is sitting on the bench!
