I had the bodyshell which I chopped and welded together, I had wheels/tyres,engine,steering wheel, seats and made most of the rest. My first dropped rat rod.

Love the Uncertain T chop and the license plate , great job ! :D

Your pics look squished on my screen . . . I can click on them to see the normal size .  This was a big problem a while ago for lots of people , maybe somebody else can suggest a cure !

Thanks Bob, I'll speak to someone about the pics. I've been having a lot of probs with Photobucket so that may be it! Yes you mention the Uncertain T chop, well having taken a delivery of a resin Uncertain T kit, I copied the rear end chassis and springs to put the homemade rear axle onto! I made a hook from a paperclip and hung the number plate off it.

Brilliant!

Looks as loud, as it is mad!

Thanks geetee66. Yes I found the headers, hung them upside down to miss the steering column, Bent the tips down with a flame, then made the cans to go on the ends, nice and loud!

I think its an outstanding job for your first ratrod!  love the way you arranged it, and the size of those rear tyres in comparison to the overall size of the car is killer!!  one word: Frankenstein!

Hi Dann, thanks for your comments. Yes the rear wheel/tyre combo was left over from the Lindberg Psychedelic Surf Buggy because I thought the front wheels/tyres too big and swapped them for smaller ones.

Changed to Fotki, no more hassle with the robots at Photobucket!
