MachinistMark Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 picked up the 29 "rat rod" (god i hate that term and all the "rods" it encompasses) kit the otherday. in the early stages but kind of going for a 60's surf rod style, something bright and jumpy with lots of chrome. gone is the 4 cylinder and in its place will be the flathead from the custom 48 ford kit. will be using the closed pickup cab but with the track nose and the mag wheels. not sure on colour, seems everything ive done lately is either red or blue, so im thinking a pale yellow, or maybe white. open to ideas though.
