Heres a couple of my bike. No fenders, no mirrors, no speedo, no frills!

SCORE!!! I found this F350 about 100 miles from my house for 500 bucks and drove it home no problems! Its got a really nice, very strong 360 (i think) motor with a 4 speed manual. Its got all the goodies that i need to get my rat moving! The engine also sport chrome valve covers and chrome headers!

Cool guys... i'm digging all this! Hell, it should be easy enough to find an old beat-up car right! Craigslist here I come!!!

Thanks 440shorty - not a half bad idea. Man am i kicking myself right now for getting rid of my 72 buick skylark back in the late 80's! The body was completely trashed but the motor/trans was awesome!

Can you guys give me your opinions for my powerplant on my first build. I'm looking to do this on a tight budget. I'm thinking chevy small block 350 probably with a 4 or 5 manual trans. I don't know anything about rear ends (except for the 2 legged type in tight jeans!) so i'm not sure what to...

Hi everyone from Bakersfield, CA. I'm very happy to run across fellow rat rodders! I recently finished my first build. Its a bobber that I saved from becoming scrap metal. Now, I've started on a 1940 chevy pickup project that i picked up.
