Comments?
holy cow, i would love one of those! you make everything or do you get supplied the body and parts and just alter it? very interesting and looks like smelting i would love to do. I just like to build anything with my hands. good job!
Thanks.
The Dub City cars are pretty stock, I just play with the ‘suspensions’ mostly… I did shave the doors on the Grand National though…
I’m currently looking for parts for the SSr… wheels/tires, spotlight, moon tank, etc.
Do those come with “primer” already on them? I think that looks cool in primer I can’t imagine what it will look like when you are done! Great job!

When they paint htese at the ‘factory’, they just use a gloss paint over the metal, no primer.
When you’re filling in lines and using body filler (thats what the orange stuff is on the SSr) you spray primer as a ‘guide coat’ it lets you see all the high/low spots that need sanding or more filler. Just a little trick to get it glassy smooth… use it on my real cars all the time 
LED’s? In the proper light holes or in a creative way? (A line under the whole outside of the vehicle as side Neons?)
Plush interior?
DICE?
Custom Graphics?
Maybe a special edition 4x4 muddy one? (May I suggest…;))
If the hoods open to expose the engine - paint the engine?
Tons of ideas - just look a little harder! 
Those look beautiful. Great work. At first, I thought this thread was a discussion about newly released cars… On that subject, I was at University of Cambridge in England from 1/12-1/17 and saw a 2005 Bentley Continental GT during that time parked out in front of King’s College. It was soooo elegant. Granted, it couldn’t do lowrider tricks 
for the moon tank and steelies you might want to look at your local TRU (toys r us). i think it’s an american muscle set(not sure exactly) that makes a line of t-buckets in the right scale that should have all the rat rod/ vintage parts you’re looking for.
the cars look great…gave me some ideas for the '50 wagon i’ve been thinking of doing
Thanks for the replys, guys.
I was wondering if I could find the wheels/tank in one of those little kits I’ve seen. Never really looked at them… will have to do that next time I hit up Meijer! Thanks!

To keep up with your sayin…
“Hit some switches and drag thoes [hitches]!”
LOL, thats sweet! Def going to get one of those!
With my sig… I just copied the one I had at www.blazinlow.com forums (I’m in to sport/mini trucks), and uh, edited the language a bit to keep it family safe :rolleyes:
I bought a Jesse James Ford shutter coupe and ganked the wheels and other misc parts off it… heres a pic of the test fitting :

I have a feeling this is going to look excellent
(btw, its 2:40am and I have to be up at 7:15, sweet!)
White wheels…intresting choice…
I say your paint choice has to be a good one now. To me you have to have the right color car with white wheels, but I think you’ll get something good goin’.
Get a ZJ Jeep (er, Grand Cherokee 1993-1998 model) and make a mud look with a winch in the fron and large 32" tires, and…
I think I’m gonna go for the classic rat rod color… flat/matte black
As for the jeep… sounds like a good dea, I’ve done a ot of lowered cars, so a lifted one might be interesting…
