I always loved rat rods, so I tried to go for a tow truck hot-rod style for my on-road-er, at least until I got my hands on some actual body. I used wood fiber boards to make a small square chassis, and I tried to paint faux rust on it.
Here, I've cut the wood.
Here, I've covered the pieces in wood glue:
Here, I was painting them:
And here is the end body sitting on my car:
I personally think the faux rust looks awesome, and the wood should hold up until I get money for a body. I also used bits of cinnamon when painting to give it that rust feel to the touch. I also made a towing winch for it, but it's still outside drying.
What do you guys think? I'll post photos of it with the winch once it dries.
