couple pics of a 63 I had a while back, and one of the day I let it go! It wasn't a rat rod vw, but definately a little bit of a hotrod.

Hi borkap, welcome to the site, I grew on LN and work in Mooresville, I'll hollar at you if I ever see you cruising around in your car. Nice to see more people getting into RR's. See ya around, Scott

Hey guys, I appreciate all your help and input, i am going to run my old american racing rims on the back which in turn has about a 4 inch offset and therefore I will need the 56 inch rearend afterall, imagin that:). Again I appreciate the input, thanks Scott

I want a snug fit, the 56 is just a tick wide for what I want, that's why i wanted to know what some of you guys are running. I can space it out 1/4, 3/8 each side if I need to. If 56 is the standard, that's fine, and that's why I ask, this is the first roadster I've done. Thanks for all the...

Thanks guys for the input, I did measure it like you guys said, from wheel surface to wheel surface and it is 56 inches. I think I will check into a S10 rearend, I know where one is sitting, maybe get it cheap. I appreciate the replies and I'll try to get a pic up in the next couple weeks, Scott

I am building a model A roadster and need to know what rearend any of you guys are using. I have a chev rearend(not sure what it is, came with it when I got it). I thinks it's 56 inches, but it seems too wide for it. Just wanted to see what you guys where running and maybe what out there is 52...

Welcome, and post some pics. I like those early t-birds. Good luck, Scott

welcome, nice to have you here, Scott

just my 2 cents, but a while back we (my dad and I) were trying to sell a 49 chev rat and eventually put it on ebay to sell because I couldn't find a buyer. I got 3 times as many questions about rust and motor, interior, etc. than a 59 corvette we listed that sold for over 10 times what we...

looks good to me also, authentic looking, scott

Welcome Drew, have to catch up sometime, where you located. I work in Mooresville off Mazeppa Rd. behind the wind tunnel. I have had a few vws over the years and also migrated to the rat scene. I'll keep a eye out for any model A and let you know, take it easy, Scott

Be 32 next week, loving life.

Just to throw this in, about things at church functions, some of the toughest and roughest softball and b-ball games I have ever played where against other churches. My parents church (and the one I grew up in) have a yearly car show and it is rediculous, it is headed up by a bitchy, snooty...

Hope everything works out for you 440, Sounds like a good move career and house wise and good luck to your wife, keep us posted. My dad did the same thing, a mechanic almost all his life and at about 50 gave it up and drives a truck local for a frieght carrier, 7-4 mon-fri and he was a new man...

come on guys, they will come around. My dad tried to give me a 50 chev pickup, 6 inch chop, slammed down, and I wanted a volkswagen, imagine that. I came around to rods about ten years later. Still into volkswagen some, but kinda got bored and decided to move on. I have a 2 1/2 year old...
