Finished this one up tonight. It was channeled over the frame to get it as low as I could. The wheels and tires are from the double dragster kit, the engine is from a Testors diecast car, and the scoop is from a Bad Medicine. I also made brass knuckles for the shift knob.I painted it Wimbelton white then proceeded to weather it with washes and rusting solution. Im happy with how it came out and it got me out of my building slump.

Nice job on the weathering/beater look and the knuckles are a nice touch.

Thanks guys...i posted it over at TRAK in scale but my thread was locked because in their little make believe world a car with rust MUST BE A RATROD and RATRODS AREN'T TRADITIONAL.. This car wasnt built as a rat rod, its a used and abused drag car. O well at least I'm welcome here and we don't have the ridiculous rules to adhere to
