Show Off Your Street Rods!

[Crash Enburn]

I've got pretty much a one-track mind, and absolutely love the Street Rod class. Let's use this thread to post pictures of a class that really is about the show. Add your car even if it isn't racing.

(Let's please keep the dialogues to a minimum, to maximize the density of pics.)

I'll start it off with my current pair (more in the works).

The Calliente
This is the second iteration of her. I cut a new chassis, drilled with the block, and is now using DD4H wheels.

The HiJack:

(My phone's camera really struggles to capture a decent image of these cars. /images/boards/smilies/frown.gif )

Car show?

It's in some form of construction, but here is a sneak peak...

Excellent!

B Regal - That Road Runner's a beaut! Get 'er done and post updated pics!

Keep 'em coming, guys!

Here is my first completed SR. Big thank you to Down4Derby for building the chassis!

Sweet looking ride SK! The body looks vaguely familiar.

A translucent body. Is that resin?

Thanks GravityX. I was so excited when I found it on eBay. It is a plastic special edition polar lights charger funny car. They are usually clear, which I purchesed one of also, but the red are pretty rare.

OK Crash, I finished a Street Rod just to make you happy!

The kit arrived sans engine so I made a pinewood injector scoop for it and in an homage to Kinser I used a silver metallic Sharpie to "paint" the scoop and headlights. I used Model Master Royal Blue Pearl lacquer on the body.

 

[BulldogRacing]

Nice look, I like the Paint!

 

[Crash Enburn]

BR - That does make me very happy! /images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif And kudos to you for building a proper scoop for the body!

I finished the body and chassis (but not wheel/axle prep yet) for my newest SR, The "Bahn Burner":

I custom made the headlights using aluminum foil for the buckets, then hand cut plastic for the lenses.

The model measures at 2-3/4" wide, and <7" long, so it meets Scout regs (if standard wheelbase isn't enforced). It's my entry into the Leaders' group of our Pinewood Grand Prix this weekend.

It has a 3.5" wheelbase. This one's gonna be squirrely!

Where are some of you getting the clear body models???

I'd guess eBay... Amazon... Hobby Store... or anything like that, but I would say it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I've found mine on ebay.

Alright here's the finished new SR minus the wheels. This will most likely be a all show and no go car but man I love the way it turned out. To me it looks way better in person than the pictures. Rattle can paint can be pretty.

Love the color. Sweet ride!

 

[Skippy Kicky]

Very cool cars!

 

[down4derby]

Very very nice. What paint is that? It came out beautiful.
