Rat Rod---------?????

Well I finally got a few days off and have been out in the garage beat'n and a bang'n with sparks fly'n pizz'n off the wife.

Awesome! My buddy saw that tube chassis twin motor car (from Hot Rod a couple months back) up on Mulholland last weekend. That's a wicked brand of craziness! :sifone:

Will the back motor be inside or under the cowel?
That is neat ride for sure.
I wanted to try 2 inline 6's side by side thought that would have been cool because the car is so wide now but couldn't think of any cheap way to hook'em togeather into one tranny.
 
That's really sweet George.......


You should make a boat with the same setup and tow it around with that mean bastage....:sifone:

Piled up ...Your not kidding.. I see why you are selling off stuff.


How many things have you found you forgot about?.:rofl:

Cool cars non the less.

i had to pound out for the bellhousing and distributor,, but it,s all up front on a streched camaro clip (34in) ,i,m going to try to bring it to biloxi,
 
More progress............
The old nasty front end is finally gone, it had to be 500 lbs.
In it place is a 47 Ford axle and spindles that now have late model GM disk brakes, I split the wish bone and put on a set of 1/4 eliptical springs and got a nice ride hight.
