Nice n' Rusty.

I'm going to call the office done for now. Made a crate with cushion for seating. Weathered the floor with some dust, bare steel under the driver's feet and some old and new rust.

Love it!! The crate is spot on. I really dig the simplicity of this build yet it showcases your first class weathering skills. Awesome concept.

Thanks Mr.T.
Thanks alot for the kind words CT.

I realised I needed to fasten the seat down so now have some brackets so the driver doesn't go flying. ;D I aged the wood of the crate a little for more contrast to the cushion.

I should probably make some sort of fuel tank too. And continue with the weathering. Thanks for looking in.

Thanks alot Scott, Now if I could just get a little more bench time.

Getting there. Have the hood attached with one side fixed open. That is a small makeshift fuel tank I added on the firewall.



I suppose I should rustup the fuel line looking at it now. This guy is not likely to have used stainless steel. Althought the fuel line going to the carb., I will leave unpainted. Maybe he recently replaced this.

If I recall correctly, the stuff I used back in the day (like 1986-ish) was aluminum, I think the contrast is great the way it is. 8)

Okay, maybe that's why I left it unpainted. It didn't seem to look right bright steel , but then again rusty doesn't seem right rusty either. It's already had a couple of washes, maybe I can do something to make it look grimy or oxidized.

Thanks guys.

I think it's done...for now. If I get around to making a base, I may add a few things.
