Hey Guys,
In my "intro" thread, I shared my ideas on a future Rat Rod build. It still is, and will remain to be in the "idea" stage for quite some time.
So, instead of a "build thread", I am starting a "Pieces and Parts" thread where I will be updating the unique items that I will try to use in my build.
My focus has moved towards building a Farm Rat which will have some agricultural parts and influence. I have started with a rusted wheelbarrow, which I hope to use as a grill frame/ shroud by cutting out the bottom and welding in a herring bone style grill bars made from old calf pen gates.
Other ideas include a steering wheel from a Farmall M, a shifter made from a a steel hame from a draft horse harness, antique harness hooks for headlight brackets, tractor lights, milk can for fuel tank, and the list of possiblities keeps growing.
We'll call it "Farmer Built".
Thanks for letting me share.
