My first Hot Rod

Postby urbanwarrior » Thu Mar 17, 2016 7:38 pm

Well since catching "brass fever" I figured I would try my hand at a brass chassisied hot rod. I was thinking rat rod but it did t exactly turn out in that direction.
At this point it's basically complete with the exception of the guide, wiring and some touch ups. The majority of the silver is bare metal foil, most of which needs fixing because I put it on way too early in the build. I also did some brass headers, engine wiring and plumbing.
The guide is going to require a little creativity since I enclosed it in a brass house because I was trying to hide it. I kinda forgot I still need to get to it!! I think I have a solution though so we'll see.
Anyway thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy.
John
