    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.

    Model A roadster rearend width?

    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...

    Model A roadster rearend width?

    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

    Price of Rat Rods

    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...

    Car Show Fraud

    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...

    Rat rod lettering (paint)

    Hey guys, I made a stencil off my computer using I think 8 1/2 by 14 paper. I just went into word or something(been a while) and typed it up, enlarged it and all the other stuff and printed it out, then I just cut it out with a razor blade. I then taped it to my door and and sparayed it with...

    Please, please be careful !!

    I weld the jack stobs on the cars (nascar) we build and talk about stress, some of those guys will jump under a car quick and not think twice about it and their life hangs on YOUR weld. I'm not going to jinx myself, but I have been fortunate so far especially when they wreck or hit the wall...

    new bumper pic

    A pic if a bumper I did up for my truck. I got it from a friend, I believe it's from a 63 chevrolet truck. I cut it down and filled the holes, It came out pretty good I guess.

    BMW choppers or customs?!

    Here in Morganton, NC, there is a bmw motorcycle weekend every year, and I have never seen one chopped or bobber style. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention, but it's suprising that there aren't more of them around here. I like the look of the black one though, thanks scott
