Rusty Rat Rod

Posted by PatW on Wednesday, June 14, 2017 9:27 AM

I had the bodyshell which I chopped and welded together, I had wheels/tyres,engine,steering wheel, seats and made most of the rest. My first dropped rat rod.

Oh and I opened up and hinged the doors.

Nice! I'm reminded of a former member here who used to say:

"Needs more rust!"

Hey Pat, I don't often look under autos but Rat Rod caught my eye. What fun! That's what they look like in the U.S. Love those exhaust terminators! It all made me smile, lol! BTW, those outdoor scenes look real!

Cheers Max for your comments, thanks. We don't see many in the UK due to vehicle restrictions, No mufflers, No fenders, engine must be completely covered as must the rear axle/brakes.

01.07.16 Got shot of Photobucket too much agro! They wanted me to buy a huge lump of space I should never need, on the pretence that I'd used up my 'Free' space of 2.1GB when in fact I've used only 0.6GB, gone to Fotki for a better deal!
