Posted October 3, 20213 yr Something I've been meaning to rebuild for years since the flared balloon pieces came out in red. The 50th anniversary of the band, and the untimely passing of bass player / vocalist Dusty Hill in July got my behind into gear. My all new, completely rebuilt ZZ Top's Eliminator Hot Rod, with repositionable band riser and billboard, plus section of highway to pose the builds on. This is a physical build, but with photoshopped decals and hole in the "P" (for now). My last version I made in 2015 and posted the old photos here when Dusty passed away. A few more shots available on my Flickr gallery. UPDATE: Now on Ideas, should you wish to support. Edited October 5, 20213 yr by jp-30
October 4, 20213 yr Great model. Even without the Photoshop details, the hot rod is classic and instantly recognizable. The red balloon pieces make excellent fenders and complete the classic look.
