55 Chevy Pro Sportsman
by Morrie Mon 05 Sep 2016, 1:04 pm
I've seen a few photo's online recently of Pro Mod etc drag cars with Rat Rod style body wraps so I thought I would do this Sportsman kit in the same style and also would be fun to do some more weathering and try a few more things.
The kit is pretty much out of the box, I did fill in the rear wheel arches a bit to get them down over the wheels a bit more and look a bit more factory as this body had crazy big openings. I also used lower profile rear slicks as the kit ones where massive and the ass end was way to high, building the roll cage in this thing was a real pain.
I also wanted to see if I could do a rusty chrome bumper so I tried the salt technique with Alcad chrome and it actually worked really well
