April 10, 201313 yr comment_652795 When we moved into our house we found two fibreglass bodies for hotrods, 1 a32 ford roadster 1/8 scale and a 34 ford roadster 1/4 scale, So, we figured with our leftover go kart bits and some tubing wed make a really biiiig model, heres the 32 build up so far..... So with the chassis done in 1/4" steel square tubing we mounted an old axle and full set of go kart wets then prep on the bodyshell, (It was pretty bloody rough too!,,) Then it was time for some color, My boy is a big CHIP FOOSE fan and I'm sure his paintscheme will, reflect this.... Now its time to pinstripe it and on with some clearcoat and a little bit of trimwork,( Or should i ESKY the thing?) also head and tailight setup, and windscreen pipes etc... Report

Hello - they look awesome! In your 4th photo there's the other body, do you have a shot of that on its own? They look bigger than 1/4 scale if the wheels are go kart ones? you can maybe gauge it's scale and maybe even their $ value here... http://www.quarterscalelegends.com/bb/index.php cheers Report
October 22, 201313 yr Author comment_669955 Big roadster has been sold to a very serious hotrod guy MEGUIARS winner! i hear the paintwork alone is costing over three grand!, not big for someone whos real rod is worth over three hundred, thought id pass it on to someone worthy, just not enough time between, the FERAL, fridges and mini hotrods ive already got on the go, cheers for the input this will be complete by christmas as i need something to keep the bourbons cold at SUMMERNATS YEAH.
