HOT ROD WOODY

- SCOTT LEMPERT « COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, MI

Scott tells us he has always loved Woodys, and we certainly know from many of his previous builds that he loves hot rods. He brought his two passions together for this 1/8-scale build. He wanted a surf hauler type body and made himself a template out of styrene and went to work. He even 3D-printed a scale surf board and roof racks to strap it to. The body rides on a scratchbui­lt chassis made from ¼-inch square steel and some 3/16-inch cold-rolled steel rod.

The 1/4 elliptical design front suspension is scratch-built too, while the rear uses a Austar 1/10 rear axle with 1/16-scale Traxxas Revo shocks. Between the frame rails up front sits a 3D-printed 572ci Big Block Chevy topped with Kinsler fuel injection.
