Looking good Geezer. Did you ever figure out what you were going to do for the rear of this beast?

[geezerman35]

I just bobbed off the back, Marc.
Have a kickup on the frame rear and will have a homemade beer keg on it for a tank.

You can go ahead and join M.A.G.S. without worry, tooltas, I'm not a member. But they ARE a great group of guys.

Have 'er up on wheels, and the engine pretty much done.

Gettin closer. Starting to put stuff together. Should be able to wrap it up tomorrow.
Because I do so many open wheel rods, My junkyard wasn't keeping up with headlight buckets. Last couple of builds, I was forced to go without, or cobble some up using hupcaps, etc.
Tired of being without., I figgerd I'd try to cast some. Used a rear portion of what I think was a siren off of the Model A police car as a master.
Well, didn't turn out that great, but seeins as this is more or less a rat, I was able to use a couple and disguise the faults as rust .
Maybe I'll try to work something else out with those molds, later.



Here they are on the model. Sprayed them w/ Duplicolor Chrome, but handling them dulled them up real nice.
