this was originally going to be a panel van but I had a complete change of ideas to turn it into a rat rod the plans are to shorten and decrease the width of the body and mount it onto a Hilux chassis with modded suspension and escalade rims. haven't got much of an idea for motor yet but I have got a supercharged Pontiac motor lying around................

well today I finished narrowing the body and started work on the engine which will be the motor from a '72 gto with a Chevy trans and most likely a blower but we will see pics later on today it's near 2 in the morning and I need sleep

Managed to get a little progress on the interior today it is only a rough mock up but it gives an idea on how the interior will look. I also finished the trans and engine mounts for the supercharged 455.

Working on this interior I have used the floor from a '69 mustang and seats from the parts box the dash was cut from a foxbody dash and I have started to work on the fuel tank and system. I wanted this to have a rough feel about it so I have made some "welds" and am really happy how they turned out.

Slowly finishing up on this thing I have painted the body I really like the combination of the black and gold following the body lines.the engine is a 1\25 straight four out of a mustang with a few V8 parts from the box and an intake trumpet made out of a pen.
