Love this. Keeping it as tech a possible! Great ideas. Awesome.

Like the concept. Maybe a bit rough on the edges, but great job!!

It shows amazing skill getting such a complicated shape out of technic panels. Love the shape.

Joost, best hotrod bodywork I've seen on MOCpages, period. Love the steering column shifter. Overall, great design and execution.

this is amazing!!!

wow great build :)

Oh! I like this one! Nice work.

Yeah we must admire the HOG steering solution - complicated but you make it look so simple. Hi Joost, thanks for your comments (a few weeks/months ago now). All is well but super busy with work so struggling with personal builds and keeping up with MocPages. It was my third son's 1st birthday today - how time flies when you are a father of 3 ;). Hope you and yours are well. Joe :)

Great design and owesome complexity. Run around the block HOG-steering excellent. Body shape is great to my opinion. I am always fighting with these panels. Good job!

Didn't I respond to this one yet??? I think it's awesome. I am an 80's Technicguy so these new Technicbuilds are way beyond my skills...

Nice ride! :)

Hi Joe, really nice to hear from you, please no apologies, it is me who should understand the business you got from three, and I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment. I was struggeling a lot with the bodywork, Those technic bodywork parts aren´t my best friend. but it turned out reasonably ok. That was a real pain. I badly wanted a roof, but I wanted playability also. 16 gearwheels to bring steering to the roof. Thank you very much! this means a lot fo me! I never even build the 8070, Those parts were always intended to be used for moccing. But yes, most parts from the 8070 are used, and lots of parts from 9394, and lots of pieces from my ´failure, snif snif...´trial-trial :-) For now: my next little project will be ok, and then for the next big project, I will use 8043, 8285, 8436, and probably some parts from 8110 and 42000 :-) Much greetings!

@ Nick - Geartasticness is a great word and explains this moc perfectly. Joost so sorry for the delay in responding to you. It is so good to see you on the pages again, shame I am so busy at the moment with my new little boy but I will be back in full swing soon. I really like this, at first I thought it was a very simple design (especially for you) but when you start looking in more detail you can see the complexity. Love the gearbox and shifter – I have not seen this before, and great work transferring the HOG system around the gearbox. The whole thing looks great too. RIP your 8070? Talk soon buddy :)

5/5 Great Work! Does your son approve?

Very cool overall shape! :)

dudey!

Really cool technic MOC! I like the engine. Very good work!

Great work, amazing engineering!

Nice to have you back : ) It's a good Technic MOC, with a superb gear selector design, I've never seen a working column change before!

Thanks folks, I really appreciate you comments! I think a missed the start somehow, as I uploaded on Friday night, and only today the latest minor imperfection of mocpages was resolved. Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with it myself, it wasn't an easy build at all :-) @ Thomas, bedankt man, Ik apprecieer je commentaar en je steun!

Ziet er heel erg mooi uit! Goed geproportioneerd en een hoop functies. Beter dan de eerste Techrod wat mij betreft. Vijf smilies natuurlijk! :)

This is pretty neat. I don't think I've ever seen something quite like this done in Technic before.

Great great great!!! This should be a set!! 5/5

Great looking rod! I like the gear changing mechanism!

Great looking Hot Rod. Excellent details.

very nice looking rod

This is a great looking rod. Better still, the considerable geartasticness of it. It's a word! :-) Very nice work to put it all together and the crowning glory - that column change. Wow.
