Two new chips to add!

My fellow RatRod builder hooked me up big, as it’s a rare day I get chips that I don’t actually have.

Thanks again @calfdemon !!!!

You pried them from my fingers with your promises and temptations! Nah, all good. Glad to help out one of my Rat Rod brothers!

Culling the herd.

Slowly removing duplicates and chips in rough condition.

I’ve decided to keep it down to 2 racks of 5s. The financial investment to build another rack is astronomical and doesn’t make sense. Especially considering I think I have a majority of them now

@aggie got me all hyped up and I need to calm down

 

[aggie]

Honestly, though, two solid racks with less duplicates is definitely cooler than three racks with filler.

That’s where my head is at too. #brainwaves

You’re not culling to 200 exactly, right? You’re keeping all the good non-duplicates?

I have 259 right now

I’ve got it down to 199 as it sits. There’s a very special chip showing up tomorrow to complete the second rack. @JeepologyOffroad

And as I evolve the racks, find other singles, I’ll rotate out duplicates.

 

[louBdub]

Culling complete!

Now what to put in those 3 empty barrel slots….

 

[louBdub]

This is what PCF is all about!

Xoxo @JeepologyOffroad

Obviously you need 3 more barrels of 25s to finish the set!

 

[louBdub]

Evolution….

Splitting atoms and watching it grow…

New $20 heads up 10c/50c set

And 50c/$1 cash set

 

[louBdub]

New HotRod member ready to go! Great match and beautiful colors!

 

[louBdub]

Little eBay win!

Love this chip! Adding into the set FOR SURE!

 

[louBdub]

Cleaning up the color palette

Some heading to the auction block soon…

 

[louBdub]

A $20 barrel is on its way, not sure where to go from here, but it’s gonna get interesting…

 

[louBdub]

New barrel, just because it’s pretty

 

[louBdub]

Well…..

Another $1, I’Da thought….. (chip punny)

And I fucked up and started wanting white Cali Hundo’s….. because, they’re pretty.

The designer of the Hof was on point yall

 

[FDLmold]

There is definitely something to be said for white $100 chips.

 

[louBdub]

Since day one…. One set has been a dream of mine. It’s absolutely impossible to own a playable set, but I can take inspiration from it!

New frac rack comin in hot!!!

 

[louBdub]

The HotRod has always been inspired by my absolute GOAT set, the Maverick R.

So, it’s evolving, and following a path that mimics what I see as the best set on earth.

 

[louBdub]

It’s developed a split personality….

5c/10c set…

50c/$1 set…

And everything around it

OMG I think your set is the set I saw when I found out all about Hot Rod and Rat Rod in the first place. Wow, seems like Hot rods would be more expensive to build? Wow

Bob is here.

Sinabar chips are getting hard to come by….

Lou this is absolutely incredible. Compiling a set of hot stamps in these colors is no small feat.

Do you have further goals for the set?

I’d also love to see a spread of the $100s you’ve included - very curious to see what made the cut for inclusion in a single barrel.

Thanks for the kind words!

Further goals? Maybe another rack of $1s? Idk yet…. Another rack of $5s is basically impossible for now. Maybe one more barrel of $25s? It’s an evolutionary process that takes me down a new path each time I play the set. I love it

Here’s a few pics of the singles in the $100 barrel. I’m shopping for more, a few are a bit overpriced IMO (eBay), so they will stay watched for the time being…

 

[louBdub]

Oh, and this set isn’t a shelf queen….

They get plenty of play!
