OK well yeah im back. Decided to do this like on another forum to just keep all my finished stuff in on thread cause it makes it easier to find stuff and well saves forum space ;D Well sdrodders rods and kustoms is the name as thats what i build traditional rods and kustoms.


First up is my 40 ford gasser. I finaly finished it. Basic info on this is its the revell street rod issue of the 40 ford. runs and 8 carbed hemi from the amt 53 ford. The headers are scratchbuilt. The front suspension consists of a 29 model a rear spring, 37 ford i beam axel with partsbox hair pins. The rear suspension consists of a parts box quick change what looks to be from a revell t bucket, amt 40 willys springs and scratch built axel housings. The wheels consist of 5 spokes with whitewalls up front and 60s amt slicks with whitwalls in the rear. The interior is stock with the exception of the kustom roll bar. It has seat belts a fire extinguisher and a helmet. The scoop on the motor is scratch built. The color on the body is house of kolor apple red candy. IT is the first car that i wetsanded and polished and bare metal foiled. anyway here it is.

34 ford truck is another one. Its mainly a parts box build The cab came from my friend. The frame bed came for another junker i had. The inline 4 banger came from an revell 29 model a truck and was detailed by stripping the chrome and painting and weathering everything. The carbs are from replicas and miniatures compnay and the air cleaners are from the parts box. The bed was shortened with real wood. The interior has a 39 chevy dash. The tractor grill shell was scratch built. The wheels are from an revell 65 chevy stepside The rear axel is 34 ford truck with a 34 ford car crossmember in the frame. The front suspension is from the revell 40 ford street rod with the brake drums comming from an amt 49 merc. After everything was assembled and fitted i broke it down and weathered everything with sophisticated finishes rusting kit. Anyway here it is

my last addition is my recently finished rod. ITs revells rat rods t bucket which is an modififed re issue of the tweety pie kit. I got it about 6 months ago. Started it. Replaced the wider tires with narrower ones from the revell 37 ford panel and then painted whitewalls on them. The wheels were painted a satin burgundy. The gas tank was scratch build from a clear pen body(dont do it clear plastic is very fragile). The motor was converted from kustomozied to somewhat stock with a 55 chevy truck intake and carb and valve covers. On the carb sits a replicas and miniatures caddy air cleaner. The headers are from the amt phantom vicky modded to fit. Besides this the kit is out of the box. It was weathered with paint and sophisticated finishes. Hope you guys will dig this build

thanks for the kind words about my cars. Im back with a couple more finished cars. This is one of them


Ok this is the second car for the call out build off on another board. Revells 32 sedan(my first 32 ford from revell or overall i built). The frame recieved a 37 ford truck rear axel and crossmember. The front is 37 ford truck front suspension and dropped axel(shaped for realism). The front crossmember was moved foreward. The motor is a 59 caddie motor from the 59 convert. The headers are modified 29 ford mufflers. The rear belt was removed. The intake was shaved and 4 carbs added. Then it was wires and plumed with oil lines. The interior is pretty stock with the exception of the mercedes dash and the 49 ford sterring wheel. The car has only a windshield thats poped out for the true cali look. The steelies are also from 37 ford truck kit. Color is tcp global passion purple pearl base with no clear. Has 40 ford plates

This is the first car for the call out build off. revell 29 ford truck. converted the revell 4 banger to a reily headed 4 banger. Had to correct the head in the process. The engine is wired and plummed. The enterior is stock with a 49 ford sterring wheel. The wires are from a revell 30 ford coupe. The rest is box stock pretty much. Color was walmart spray can red with dull coat with silver primer spots. The seat is white with metallic red inserts. The bed has wood color treatment and a spare tires and a track nose.
