Here in Indiana where the James Dean Festival brings all the boys to the yard, I have seen some gorgeous Rat Rods. One of my favorites this year, (very similar to most of your RC Rat Rods but 1 to 1) was one that was rusted, numbered but the driver side door was yellow.....a clean yellow door that set a narrative that one day this will look brand new again. I thought, usually gear heads wouldn't think to go in that direction...create a fictional story that will never come to fruition. Just an idea to maybe help you advance this project. I love the blue....
aliexpress has the front ends both in black or chrome, depending on store they usually go for around 15-20 bucks each, i have a couple of each colour as i build the semi trucks
At the moment it is giving me HW Bone Crusher/Rat Fink vibes. If I was building it, I would go with that style and with a pinch of Gas Monkey thrown it too.
Eaglemoss is bye bye…….but, ALLEGEDLY IXO Collections may pick up with some of the Eaglemoss models if they can get the IP. I’m at the same stage of the Ecto 1 as you when they pulled the plug! Great build man. Keep trucking!
Yea I hadn't been there in yrs.. and recently I went there and it was hobbytown.. thro me off forsure.. yea I'm in grand Prairie, kinda right down the street from that place . I use to live out in Tyler...
Yup, Eaglemoss went bankrupt and officially out of business in August. It sucks. They made cool stuff; those wheels are super dope!!! I'd definitely say ditch the fenders if you're not running rear fenders and running boards on it.
This is going to be a really cool Rat Rod You're Building looking forward to seeing some more updates nice job💯👍👍👍✌👏😎♥️👍👍💯💯😎

Muy buen trabajo compañero 👌👍
the blue body would be great for a rat=crawler????
Think the fronts are kyosho scorpion wheels. I've used them on a build I did
