-zenn Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) V-LV-22C Every now and then I got the urge of building cars, which in most cases turn out as Hot Rods. So here is another moc build in such an urge. Started out as a sedan, but I didn't liked the look of it, so shortened it up. And by the way; red is a hard color to photograph, any tips are welcome. Roadkill; a hot rod inspired by '6538 Rebel Roadster' and 'Jimmy Shine'. Flickr Gallery Comments and critisiscm welcome. Edited May 9, 2012 by -zenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Blue Brick Posted May 2, 2012 Great design -zenn. The design is great, especially those wheels. The way you did the doors was also nice and the engine too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 2, 2012 Nice one '-zenn', I how seats became doors/side of the vehicle.....too cool ! Brick On Drive On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L@go Posted May 2, 2012 I've learned to expect something special when you present another hot rod, and this one doesn't disappoint! Great job, as always :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purpleparadox Posted May 3, 2012 Sweet hot rod. I'd love to have that in my Lego collection. I might have to show this to my uncle, he'd love to see that kind of car. Perhaps I can create an AFOL of him...? Anyway, great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) This is a great looking rod. I particularly like the engine work, wow. The red inserts on the blower are just brilliant and great details. The complimentary fig is a plus too. Although, he'd look better, in my opinion, with a white torso/yellow arms(sleeveless shirt), the legs of the S4rocker. The big look of car guys in the hey day of muscle. Edited May 3, 2012 by Legocrazy81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-zenn Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) @ The Blue Brick> Thanks, I've made those wheels before, Tried out some other combo's but they didn't look as good. @ lightningtiger> I've seen it being used but only with 2 seats, not 4 seats. It was a nice challenge. @ L@go> Haha, my reputation precedes me. Got my ego stroked for today. @ purpleparadox> Thanks, If he's a rodder it would be kewl to make him and his rod in minifig style. @ Legocrazy81> Those blowers were a pain in the megablocks at first, I really wanted those inserts. But after minor tinkering, they came out okay. Well the fig is put together from a historical stand view; allied soldiers who were back fom the war with newly acquired mechanical skills, mostly still sporting their jackets. But if I would make a sleeveless fig I would choose that Pharaohs Quest torso. Edited May 3, 2012 by -zenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEGO Guy Bri Posted May 3, 2012 Another awesome Hot Rod -zenn! The wheels look great, but I love how you built that engine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-zenn Posted May 5, 2012 @ mrlegoman, Lego Guy Bri, kzv > Thanks guys, the wheels were a random collision of parts. It just magically formed when I searched out some parts; the red part was stuck in a tire. I like building these big engines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
