My favorite Altered

[oldcoyote]

..... the fire breathing A/A '32 Austin Bantam roadster of Roy Rastetter from Hale Center, Texas

..... a Competition Resins body sits on a Willy Borsch (Bantam Blast) chassis, Comp Resins front tires & wheels, Ross Gibson Hemi, Testor's white paint, and custom decals by Keven Ellis













..... and the real thing

Beautiful little car, the 1:1 AND the scale model. Nicely done.

Well. . . this is now "my" favorite! Good night almighty! This build is simply stunning!

I definitely agree with you on that, David. This car is one of two that have been posted on here that have forced me to consider adding altereds to the type cars I build. I really prefer door slammers in the stock and super stock classes along with gassers. As I've been seeing the different altereds on here I've really started to consider building some.

Beautiful.

What material did you use for the tonneau cover?

It looks fantastic

I sanded the top of the Competition Resins body until it was flat (no lip in front of the driver's compartment), primed and painted the body white, then masked out the tonneau area and painted it flat black with a brush making sure it was not smooth, then added snaps from Pro Tech ....... the effect is that of a tightly pulled and snapped cover.

Very nicely done! You pulled it off in fine fashion!

Great looking build! Really looks like the 1:1 car!
