This car is around 1/16 scale (slightly larger) and the build is based off of the 1940's style SCTA salt flat cars often seen at Bonneville and El Mirage. These cars were the original hot rod and this car would fit right in with the SoCal scene. It is mostly period correct with a flathead ford engine, Model A Ford grille and frame, Auburn dash with Stewart Warner gauges, and a Banjo steering wheel. The car has been channeled over the frame (the body is lower than the frame) and the frame has been double Z'd front and back (both the front frame rail and back frame rail are raised, while the middle of the frame is dropped all the way to the ground, in a Z shape) the car also has a 9" ford rear-end and a drop style front axle. Smooth steel wheels, dog dish hubcaps, and bias-ply style tires complete the look.

The frame rails, axle shafts, exhaust, windshield posts, and steering column are all handmade out of K&S brass and tin solder. The engine, wheels, and rear axle pumpkin are cast in pewter from 3D printed parts. The grille is hammered steel sheet metal, the steering wheel is sourced from a keychain ring, and the details of both are made out of sewing pins. The headlights are pennies plated in solder, The hubcaps are made from wire wheels for a dremel, the tires are molded in Enduro-Soft rubber. The seat was hand shaped from foam covered in a faux-suede material, and the floorboard is hand formed from a piece of tinned sheet metal, braced with sections of K&S brass rod.

This is very custom, but the original restoration is of a 1960's Nylint "Jalopy"
