| Hacked 34 Rat Rod Crawler Lid
Well, I wanted somethin different from a grappler. I wanted a pro-line c10, but the lhs only had a grappler and other misc. bodies. I decided on an Axial 34 Rat Rod. I threw a lil dark aircraft grey and a few masks, and then threw a lil black on it. I tried to keep it somewhat true to the old rat rod style. I had to hack off all the fenders for clearance issues, but it turned out pretty well in my opinion. Lemme know what you think.

It looks good man. However, respectfully, it is a bit glossy for a true rat rod look. It would have been better painted on the outside. There was a thread a few days ago showing a rat rod paint job done from the outside and it came out pretty sweet. Gonna get scratched up easy but came out looking sweet. I do like the work you did on this though. This is just my opinion which probably doesn't mean crap and it's not ment to discredit the work you put into this ride. Edit: Here's the other thread I referred to. There is also a Betty painted the same way further down in the thread. My Proline C-10 Crawler Body Last edited by Tobit; 07-09-2008 at 07:48 AM.

Love the look of the thing, didn't even know Axial made a rat rod body... Agree that the gloss doesn't help the look of it though, hit the outside of the shell with some fine wet and dry and it should dull down nicely. Looking good, Paul |
