I think for it to qualify for Ideas it would have to be a much different car. Besides the idea itself, the sets seem to range from $20 to $50. I'd rather it be 1500-2000 piece Technic set for about $200 like the 4x4 crawler!

If I could buy this set, I'd buy two and make a Rat Rod version. I'd chop the top more, add some custom rust and bondo stickers, take off the mufflers, and possibly use a different color for one panel. :)

I like the way you think! :thumbup: Rat theme is great! :classic: I need to get some brown parts for future projects... :wink:

This is a great MOC. Great looks and loads of functions. Well done :thumbup:

Thanks! :sweet: I'm glad you like it. :thumbup:

Wauw!!!!!

:blush:

Thanks for the second video! Looks pretty speedy for a model that size.

Yes, 2L motors are powerful enough for its weight (1285g - approximately 200g lighter than Crawler 9398 with same combination of motors) and I've tried to make it as light as possible, without compromising the looks (for example, I used hose soft axles for seats to save some weight). :sweet:

Its awesome. From the first look it doesnt seems that it has so much functions. Cant wait your next project...

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! :sweet:

Especially thanks for your "second look"! :wink:

I'm especially happy that you like my videos too. :thumbup: I always put much time and effort to build part but then fear that I would mess up the presentation... :classic:

Nice model, I like the engine intake area.

Indicator idea is cool, would have saved them for another model - Hot Rods don't have indicators.

Keep it, don't break it down - show it at some Lego User Expo's and inspire others.

Keep up the good work.

This hot rod truck is so amazing! :thumbup: I love all the detail and features in it, and I can tell you really put a lot of effort into this to make it look authentic. I am an actual hot rod / kustom enthusiast so I know a little something about this sort of thing. :wink: Every time someone builds a vehicle like this, I get so excited, but your truck here really made my jaw drop, Like this --> *oh2*

Thank you for sharing this wonderful LEGO treasure.

Thank you for your comment! You've really made my day! :thumbup: I'm so happy that it looks good to the real hot rods enthusiast! :sweet:

Here in Croatia, we can see hot rods only on the Internet and maybe TV. I tried to make it look realistic but I know that I still have lot to learn... :blush:

Superb!!!!!

:blush: Thanks! :thumbup:

If indicators refers to turn signals and brake lights, they have to have them in the US if you want to drive it on a road legally.
