The Importance of Stance The stance of a model can significantly affect its overall appearance. While the Revell kit’s suspension looks good right out of the box, we aim for a meaner, more aggressive look by lowering the vehicle. This can be achieved with some simple modifications using your hobby knife and/or razor saw.
Step 1: Modifying the Front Suspension
Start by referring to Fig 1. Here, we’ll make targeted cuts to achieve our desired lowered stance.
The Goal: A Highboy Rod with Attitude
The objective of our project is to create a unique Highboy Rod that blends Rat Rod aesthetics with contemporary and traditional influences. We’ll be working almost exclusively with kit parts, with minimal exceptions for wiring and a few essentials. The end result will be a distinctive, custom-built rod that radiates personality and craftsmanship.
