Jurva Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 So many great features here. I like the front mounted Blower, and the Trans Axle setup is interesting. The interior components all work well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I thought that was a rear mounted Huffer. Part of the transaxle, though. Very Cool build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Neat and cool. Rat rod!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 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!

Koellefornia Kid Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 That is one really cool Rat Rod! The interior looks very nice and I especially like the engine/drive train set up! Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I like this very much. The red headers have me puzzled, though. I'd like to know more about that transaxle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Beautiful work, and very imaginative engineering, but, I give up: How is the engine cooled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember anymore, because it was a long time ago. Basically rear axle is quick change rearend, that has gearbox fitted "inside".

Claude Thibodeau Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 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! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
