Project 36

[F-150Highlift]

I built a scale 48 willys truck crawler and have a thread going on here but my true love is hot rods, I built my own over the past three years and really want to make a 1/8 scale r/c replica of it. I am good with styrene and the willys turned out great so I think my 36 will be ok to do. Here are some pics of my willys on a highlift chassis and pics of my real hot rod that is going to be the next project! And I can get a 1/8 scale flathead from the revell 32 ford kit. What do you think??


MY WILLYS BUILD


MY 36 HOT ROD, THE NEXT SCALE BUILD

That is badass. I have always loved rat rods.

that 36" is smokin. would look even sicker with another 1" of drop in the front.
the frame being higher than the cab makes it look like its launching a bit.

With the skill you've shown on the Willys I have no doubt you can do it. So when does this new build thread start?

[F-150Highlift]

Still gathering the parts, I just got a straight I beam axle from a tamiya big rig, want to use a bruiser rear or something similar and have transverse leaves on front and back. Deciding to go with some highlift frame rails, I will modify them to look like the 36 frame. I have all the styrene to build it, just waiting on a cheap 1/8 scale 32 ford model kit so I can rob parts from it.

That Willis body looks awesome

Can't wait to see what your next build looks like if it's half as nice as that one.

if it is anything like the willis you probably won't be able to tell it;s a scale truck that thing is awesome .
