Another new from CT

Hi all, I'm in central CT. Not a rat owner as of yet, but hopefully a few years down the road I will be. Until then I will be gathering info for a build [cl

Welcome to the site
When you get something, start a build thread and post lots of pics

welcome to rrr.

welcome fro OKLA. Gather and build. It is addictive so get ready for the fun.
pictures when ya start on one.

Welcome to RRR! Until you find your rat, find a old sled and cruise that - lots of old 4doors for cheap.

Welcome to RRR!

Welcome to RRR

Hello,welcome to RRR...........[S

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I have a project going now, but it's not a rat. It's an 89 Chevy 1500. Stroker, airbags, too much to list. But I've lost interest in a "show" vehicle. I want something to cruise around in that I'm not afraid to scratch

you can have some fun in a rat !!!! and it is a show car,cause you'll have your own personal car show every where you go[dr and doing it that way you always take first place.......

I have no idea where my pics are of my truck. I'll have to find out where I backed up my old computer files I don't know if I'm supposed to be posting pics of a newer vehicle here, and I'm not going to link to another forum unless I get approval from the mods here. I will be down to meet up once I get rolling on a new project. I want to get my shop cleaned out and organized before I do anything

I'll let u know when I get a project going and we will meet up. [ in the mean time, save for a 220v welder. I have a 110 that I got a good price on as part of a package years ago, but I didn't trust it for the frame work I did on my truck, so I ended up trading some truck parts for welding work. A 110 is fine for most body work, but I personally don't like it for over 1/4" thick metal. If you get a 220 welder up front, you will never have to worry like I did. If you can't wait to start welding, get a cheap flux core 110 unit over at harbor freight in Vernon, and practice your tecnique out on some scraps. Once you can afford to get a better unit and a bottle of 80/20 ( I think that's what mine is) you will enjoy it that much more. Check out the tie rods swap meets a few times a year at stafford speedway for good "bargains" on welded. Just have someone with you who knows what to look for in a used machine.
