The Story of the Original
The original, on which this model is based, is one of the legendary Jack Daniels Burnout Crazy Rat Rod Coupe. The characteristic design of these vehicles dates back to the 1920s and pays tribute to American hot rod culture that aimed to modernize and customize vehicles from the past. These rods were often composed of older vehicle parts and modified to achieve a unique look and high performance. The typical rat rod is known for its rustic, often intentionally unfinished look that adds charm to these vehicles. The generation vehicles from the 1920s were built between 1920 and 1930.
A special feature of these vehicles was the complete customization they underwent. Often, manufacturer parts were replaced by homemade or heavily modified elements. Popular modifications included replacing the engine block, body, and wheels to enhance performance and appearance. Notable technical details of these vehicles include large-displacement V8 engines known for their power and distinctive sound. If there is information about the designer or engineers who created this rat rod, they were usually sourced anonymously from various sources like junkyards and garages, or built by smaller specialized companies. Therefore, interesting facts about the original include the diversity and creativity that went into building these vehicles.
The DIY Miniature Version
This model car in 1/18 scale is a precise replica of the Jack Daniels Burnout Crazy Rat Rod Coupe and was handcrafted by D.I.Y. (Base: Yatming/Ertl/GMP). The model car is made of diecast, a high-quality material valued for its durability and the ability to capture fine details. Upon closer inspection of this collector's item, owned by Modelly member "Play-X", intricate details stand out, making it a real treat for automotive history and model car enthusiasts.
It's worth noting that this miniature was modified afterwards and doesn't represent the product originally manufactured by D.I.Y. (Base: Yatming/Ertl/GMP). The specific modifications include a range of tailored adjustments, such as the paint job, branding with Jack Daniels decals, and possibly alterations to the body to give the model a more personalized touch. These modifications play a crucial role in delivering the authentic rat rod look often characterized by patina, simulated rust, and rough surface textures.
The Appearance of the Miniature Vehicle
The visible details of this model perfectly reflect the appearance of a classic rat rod. The paint job authentically mimics an aged metal body with accents of rust and wear, capturing the essence of a true rat rod's charm. The side logo "Jack Daniels Overdrive" adds a special touch, hinting at a possible collaboration or sponsorship, a common feature found on vehicles of this kind.
The arrangement of components, including exposed engine blocks and customizations to the interior, showcases the painstaking craftsmanship poured into this model. The black wheels, likely customized by a particular manufacturer, complement the tough, down-to-earth look typical of rat rods. There are no specific hints regarding a well-known manufacturer for the wheels, but they stylistically match the rugged appearance of the vehicle.
