'32 Ford Rolling Chassis

'Hey all,

  Starting in on the next Hot Rod for my growing stable.   Will try to post more "in progress" shots this time for those that are interested.      The first phase will be creating a complete "Rolling Chassis".  Here's what I've got done so far for tonights work.  Think that this will be it for the night.  More to come tommorow.  Stay tuned.   The Rear-End is currently borrowed from the CTJP Chassis by Hardknox. It will be replaced by my own eventually.

29 April 2011  -  Slow progress after the Easter Weekend.   Here's the latest update, for the "Rolling Chassis"  Got the new rims done, front shocks, leaf spring in.  Need to connect the Leaf Spring, and create the front spindles to complete the chassis.

 =====================================================================
01 May 2011  -   The Rolling Chassis is now complete.  Now it's time to make the decision on what year and customizations I want to use for the Body, and begin on it.   More to come soon I hope.

Custom Rat Rod

My lastest modeling project is the Custom Rat Rod that I just recently completed.   This is again loosely based off of the '29 Chevy.   Modified the main body from the "Delivery Panel Truck to "Chop & Channel the body.   Modeled a new set of Rims, Chassis Front Clip, Suspension, Grill, Lights, Radiator, & Exhaust Headers to complete the Rod.  

Modeled a full 3D environment for the Final Renders on this one.  Plants were downloaded from various free model sites around the internet.

BoLink Eliminator Remote Control

This model was built for a Contest on one of the 3D Modeling sites that I frequent.  The contest actually fell through as there were not enough participants.  This is a 3D representation of my BoLink Eliminator Remote Control Asphalt car.  I modeled all of the individual chassis parts using my actual car as a reference.  The body is modeled based on the "Wedge" Late Model design.    Even though the contest was a bust, this was fun to model and worked as a further learning experience.

Custom 1929 Chevrolet Delivery

This model followed the '29 Pickup.  It is another full custom loosely based off of the Cab of a 1929 Chevrolet Pickup.  I utilized the Cab and stretched it into the resemblance of a Delivery Panel Van.
Modeled the "Environment" in full 3D.   Renders are done with 3ds Studio Max 2009 w/ Mental Ray Render Engine - Daylight System.

Custom 1929 Chevrolet Pickup

This is one of my earliest scratch built models.  It is a full custom loosely based off of the Cab of a 1929 Chevrolet Pickup.  All other parts of the truck are custom and are  not authentic replicas of any exiting car part.   Renders are done with 3ds Studio Max 8 w/ VRay Render Engine - Studio Setup.
