I named it AMISH MAFIA. It started out as a Jimmy Flintstone resin body. I designed and 3D printed the frame and floor to fit this specific resin car body. The wheels are kitbashed from an unknown kit. I designed and 3D printed a custom fuel tank and a mounting rack for it. The license plate is one of my custom designs that I do with the name of the build on it. The grill shell is another one of my designs. I used a Thomas Flyer grill as my reference for it. I left the grill screen out of the design so I could add a metal wire mesh screen to it for a more realistic look. The taillights are a Nahuel Customs design that I 3D printed in a clear resin that I dyed with a red transparent resin dye and only the edges are painted with a metallic silver acrylic craft paint. The engine is a MCS Designs Frenzel Supercharged Flathead Ford engine. I had to add my own transmission to the engine block in my slicer program because the original design didn't have one. I used a rubber hair band for the drive belt. The rear axle is 3D printed and was designed by Nahuel Customs. The Nahuel Customs front axle is 3D printed but I modified it to be a little narrower for this build. The windshield is cut from a hot wheels car box and attached at an angle to give it that period look. The door handles are also 3D printed but they are actually trunk handles. The driveshaft u-joints are 3D printed but the shaft part is made out of a plastic straw. The firewall is made from scratch out of styrene sheets. The seats are 3D printed tractor seats. The steering wheel and column is also 3D printed. Both were designed by Nahuel Customs. The steering column is positioned through through the firewall rather than through the body like a traditional rat rod would have. The entire build is hand painted with a paint brush. No airbrush or spray can used.
