Lloyds Lust For Rust Rat Rod :)
Lloyds Lust For Rust RAT ROD!
I found this vehicle sitting in the Walmart parking lot. After a quick glance I realized I wanted to turn this into my next 3d project. Luckily the owner walked out as a I was looking at it and turns out he did all the work with his son at his custom Rat Rod Shop. He found the body of the car wedged between two trees it had apparently been there for decades
the owner was more than happy to let me visit his Rat Rod SHop and take pics. One of the crazy things I love about this project is the amount of crazy details the owner added for example:Head lights are crystal dinner plates
Canvas top, is actual canvas sacks from coffee been producers
side mirrors are attached with teapots
the tail lights are teacups
the interior floor board is made of saw blades
Please let me know what you think!!
I have started on the details pass still a large amount of work to be done but want to update this post with current WIP pics:
closer look at the engine area, and curious what people think about the cushion, I feel like it needs much more love
A few shots of the block out, still needs more details in the engine area.
Here are few shots of the HP model, in its clean stage. I will do a detail pass in zbrush, that will include smalle elements nuts&bolts etc, wear and tear, aging.
Details Close up the more organic shapes, sculls, jaguar, grill head are more less roughed in at the moment

Probably a bit late for it, but If you need any extra reference of the engine i can supply whatever you need. I got one of the later ones with the ribbed valve covers, but is otherwise identical.
Like if y'all want to be super accurate, you got the radiator feeding into the intake manifold, when it actually runs through a coolant rail above the intake manifold. But it'll pass unless the viewer is really looking for that sort of thing, so that only matters if you're going full out for accuracy's sake
If you ever want help or deep reference photos of the actual motor just PM me and i'll be glad to oblige.
the game mesh will be gamish
meaning slightly higher poly than current console standards (Im guessing though), example would be most medium size cylinders are 24-32 segments.. that said that could be current standards for racing games maybe?
