29 Ford ratrod with a twist

Recommended Posts

I started this almost 10 years ago. In that time I got more suitable aftermarket parts. Chassis, front suspension and drivetrain, are what I started with, all those years ago. They are almost 100 percent scratchbuilt with some kit parts. Same goes for the engine. Seats are Highlight Model Studio. Belts are Eduard.

Very cool! I like the unusual design choices, including the transaxle and red headers. I dig the seat belts too!

So...are there transfer cases on the back of the engine and the front of the differential to drop the driveshaft under the floor? Neat trick, if so!

Yes. Rear one is from a blower.

Beautiful work, and very imaginative engineering, but, I give up: How is the engine cooled? 

Well, I didn't search info on that. Engine idea came from old Mooneyes dragsters, and I didn't noticed radiator on those.

I like this very much. The red headers have me puzzled, though.

I'd like to know more about that transaxle.

Could you elaborate what's puzzling you.

Transaxle idea came from fellow member, who build similar thing. Can't remember anymore, because it was a long time ago. Basically rear axle is quick change rearend, that has gearbox fitted "inside".

Hi!

Very creative, well detailed, and with unusual rear transaxle!

The front blower set-up looks similar to the alternate version in the re-issue of the Cosmic Charger kit from a couple of years ago, barring the intahe horns... But I guess it is a modified  Parts Pack refugee?

Yours seats and belts are world class. 

Bravo!

Just the color really. Very unusual.
