32 Three Window Rat Rod build

Dave, I know you are not "the Boss", but, on this tutorial to me you are! Nice top chop, too. I love that rear window. Rick..a suggestion to align the front posts...section the door vertically and pull the cowl section backwards. I don't know if that is too much work, but, it seems more natural.

Nice work guys! I'm looking forward to seeing both cars at the Show & Shine.

Rick, I will align the post as I did when chopping my 5 window except all space will be made up in the front. The cutting of the cowl seems to add more work to me but still a viable solution.

I thought you were doing the Show And Shine this year!

Dave, I see the roof cuts. I did'nt think of that. I did section a roof on a 49 Merc from AMT They showed how to do it in the kit booklet. The sectioning of the door vertically still seems less work to me. Since the lower cowl section is loose you would only be sliding it back a bit when you put the door pieces back together. You would not be adding to the roof formation. I watch your work on this eagerly to help me with mine. I love the red 5 window. I think I remember seeing it in the gallery. Awesome....and thanks again for more insight!

Yup, the Show & Shine is the end of May Dave. Even if your car's aren't finished, they'll be welcome, including that old red one.

Wow, I'm really loving what you guys did with the 3 window. We're really talking in da weeds here. Talk about your traditional rods.

This is very interesting just a few shots of the roof area. I filled in the cut section with some plastic and put on some Glazing Putty . Now the sanding and contouring.

I found this sweet ride on-line this morning. Check it out some nice build ideas.

I think I've seen that rod somewhere too. I also saw one like that but it had Olds Fiesta hubcaps and it looked great.

Thanks for posting that cool pic Willys. That's a beautiful hotrod!

I don't know were to ask this type of question any more so I put in my build as that's were it will be used.

I am in need of a drive shaft, kind that maybe in the Trans/Am kit or even the Camaro Kit.
just need something with Universal joint on both ends. Please let me know if you can help me out and what you would like in trade or compensation. Thanks David

I might be able to help you out but need a couple of days to go through several large parts box's. I'll let you know ASAP.

Thanks Rick, I will be gone for a few days anyway as I'm heading out on the first fishing trip of 2008.
