    Default Lock Down Hot Rod

    Something to keep my brain & hands active during Covid 19 lock down.
    Always wanted a hot rod but could never afford a real one, so with lots of time and some scrap camphor laurel I had a go at making one.
    No plans, I made it up as I went along, I learnt lots of new skills and destroyed lots of brain cells solving the problems I encountered (most of them fixing my mistakes from not planning what I was doing)
    Cheers Richard

    Great looking hot rod I like the front grill detail just adds character. Yes sometimes there is much head-scratching in a workshop working out how to complete things.

    WOW! there is an enormous amount of detail in that vehicle, the more you look at it, the more you see. Your patience and eye for detail is quite remarkable. Not sure if I would let a three year old play with it in the sandpit, probably better to leave it in a glass display case somewhere safe.

    Wow. What a lot of detail. You seem to have gone all out in making this one.

    If you were in Victoria you would be starting a production line.

    Stay well, Stay safe.

    Thanks for all the likes
    It was lots of fun to build, I am now racking the brain to think of another build where I can use the skills I've learnt before I forget them
    Cheers Richard
