Some of you were interested in my project, so I thought I'd update you. Today was the last lab day in school so I had to take it out of there. I have the frame 90% done, just have to weld on some extra braces and gussets. Body still needs to be finally attached, its just sitting on there at the moment. And, basically, I have to mount the engine and all that stuff. At the moment its just a rolling chassis and body. Enjoy and discuss and comment. Thanks!

Looks really cool. Need to be done to see the real sickness of it but looks like it gonna be one sweet ass ride!! :tup: By the way good weld job! Just need some paint
-
PAINT! EWWW, its a rat rod, which is basically a rough version of a hot rod (aka the poor mans hot rod) I'm probably just gonna leave it rust, or "if" I do paint it, it will be just flat black
-

-

Nice job with the chop and squat... I wouldn't just let it rust, a coat of flat black would do it nicely. Plan on heat wrapping the exhaust headers? Whenever I think ratrod, I think flat black and wrapped headers... It's a beautiful sight. Just one problem with it.... Chevy body, er what's let of it... LOL And a Ford Engine.... Shame, shame... :cry2: The Rear end is fine since the Ford 9 is the best for your money. I mean if you had said you were gonna drop in a Big-block ford, then I'd say go for it, actually thinking about it now, a Ford flathead V8 would be perfect... I've been wanting to rebuild a flathead for a long time now...
-
looking good - i think it would look great in black and would be a shame to just let it rust after all the work you put in it
-
yeah, and wow! you sure stripped it to the bare bones :o
-
O RLY!!!

rofl that is so talented

i dont want to screw up your party but i wouldnt drive int hat even if you gave me a million euro's.
1: the frame where everything supports on aint good, to thin. (use pipes)
2: dont you huys have APK or MOT over there?
3: its to long, it will break after a few weeks (steel gets weak)
4: its so low traffic wont see it......accidents
5:rust
sorry, just telling the truth (even my teacher says it..he is a mecanic btw)
-
Fixed up a bit more and a strengthened frame, and that engine. It will be a beast. Cant wait to see it when you get it running :dribble:

they're called rat rods and are designed to look old
1- It doesn't weigh much, therefore it won't break, i've seen ratters longer than that
2- not sure what you mean by those
3- steel isn't weak enough to bend with as little weight that'll be on this
4- Motorcycles are lower and they do just fine
5- its rustic

Keep it rusted.
Throw on some worn white walls, smoke the glass, and throw a big block in it.
-

i didnt see anyone ask
worn white walls or new ones either way it will look good
he should paint it flat black and get a high gloss/peralesnt flame paint job
or get a basic flame job
