Not sure I like the cow catcher grille, but the rest of your rat is really something!

So whats the parts list on that monster!? Where did those headlight buckets come from? Etc...etc...

Oh yeah, welcome!

Thanx

The blue is a ford engine blue base with a midnight metalic blue over the top as for the car its a steel yard special just some sheetmetal and square tubing but if jonny law runs tag it will come back as a 29 ford



the parts list is as follows;
65 galixe frame shorten 24"
240 inline 6 and trans from a 67 econoline
64 galixe taillights
I used a 75 ford hood skin for the visor
gas tank from the beer store
the rest came from the steel yard and the lumber barn,ace hardware,advance auto parts and the flea market


oh yea the headlights are from a 28 buick (according to ebay)
the GRILL ,the grill will grow on ya it weighs about 80 pounds
and makes a good jack point for the hole front of the car

Welcome to RRR, Mad-Fabber. Very imaginative build there. Can't wait to see the second. Great that your daughter is into it too. Might we see a rat kart in her future ??

Welcome.......

Welcome to the site, Mad-Fabber.
Interesting build you have there, reminds me of the stock car
modifieds-dirt trackers of the '50's.
Great that your little one helps out, makes it that much more fun.
Enjoy your time here... '22

...240 inline 6 and trans from a 67 econoline IS that a granny gear 4-speed?

oh yea the headlights are from a 28 buick (according to ebay)A Buick what?! Those buckets look huge!
the GRILL ,the grill will grow on ya it weighs about 80 pounds
and makes a good jack point for the hole front of the car No, it won't grow on me, BUT it ain't my car so I can just lump it. (It's not your grille in particular, it's that general style.)

Do you have any interior pics? I wanna see your 'bucket seats'.
