looking really good TRM ..is that flathead from the kit ?

 

[TRM]

Thank you Andy!! Yes, the kit came with the flat head (minus the blower and pulley plate)....it came with a Hi-Boy as well, in case you wanted something different.

Superb work dude! Love the finish. I like the rim too for what it's worth.

 

[TRM]

Thanks for stopping by Myke!! Thinking the rims aren't that bad anymore, but, after a couple suggestions I will put for a tiny bit of weathering to tone then down just a touch. ;D

Hi TRM

Love the rust the engine is awesome.Always liked the idea of a blinged out engine and a rust bucket behind it.The rust has a nice texture it looks as if you touched it would flake off.
By the time you read this you may have worked on the rims already, I find them a bit too glossy I think if you cut back the shine the weathering and aging process will come across better just a idea.The gloss wheels make it look like a model when the rest of the car has a very realistic feel to it.I encounter the same problems myself.

TRM Great work as allways

[RocketSilo]

Oh yeah ,lol...wish I had an 8' table so I could build a dozen models

 

[Big-John]

Man this is cool. I dig that Flathead. Nice work on that blower!

I have around 6 or 7 real flathead v8s stuffed in my garage. Very cool engines.

 

[TRM]

Hiya BJ!! Thanks Buddy! Nice bid on having a bunch of "PHAT" lumps hanging out in the garage!! Got a 454 stuffed away with my bro-in-law. (surprised he has not stolen it yet!! ) Doubt I would ever find what I want to stick it in..65,66,67 Chevelle or Goat?? The wife would be out driving it all the time!!

 

[Big-John]

Ha, If I had that 454, I would be shopping for a 70 Chevelle. Orange with white stripes!

But to keep me from getting into trouble, I have a 31 Ford Model A pick up, and a 35 ford pick up, both restored to orginal.

 

[TRM]

Now that is some sweet rides there!!!

Ha, If I had that 454, I would be shopping for a 70 Chevelle. Orange with white stripes!

LOL....maybe a Pinto??? ;D

 

[Big-John]
