love the sports car hidden under an old rusty pickup.

Kool Koncept, kinky even.

only change I would make is swapping the rear Caddy th400 tail shaft for a short Chevy tail, and using the rear double u-joint from a 70's Caddy. that would move the engine 8-10" closer to the rear, and have less tendency to shake.

Thank you it is kinda kinky, it was a bold move but one I believe will work well!
I didn't want to build something that would get lost in a crowd! [dr
 
vromm vromm soon

at this rate it won't be long its runnin' down the highway[cl

looks like there is lots of leg room with no tranny hump to go thru the middle of the cab for a driveshaft.

this thing is just flat out double cool[dr

Later :cool:

Drilled and slotted 11" rotors, I figured if they can stop a BBC Camaro should work fine here.

Thanks for all the compliments, I wasn't sure if my build would be of any interest as there aren't many out there and it is really out of the norm but I wanted something strange and different that could still be long, low, loud, and sinister!

That's what hot roddin' and rat roddin' is all about.
Looking good.
 
whats going in the space between the radiator and firewall :confused:

gas tank?

Later :cool:

Hey Skull you will see in some upcoming photos space gets real tight up front, I have a R&P to mount and there still needs to be space for the coolant line. I'm using 2 spun aluminum 11 gal tanks and the will sit side by side above the tranny

Thanks Maverickmk I built this to the vision I had trying to do something completely out of the box. I'm not looking to win at shows or become a famous builder on tv, but I when i build things I love to show off my skills and creativity and really in the end nobody wants to drive an ugly car!
Thanks for watching

You can see with the booster and MC along with the radiator there isn't much room up front and I still have to run the 1 1/2" copper coolant lines to the radiator!
