Reverse Induction

[Geezerman]

I got the idea for this build from a 1:1 hot rod that has this conversion on a SBC. 1:1 Rod used motorcycle carbs and a flathead Ford crab distributer on the front of the block.

My model is a resin 34 sedan..plus a lot of scratching and bashing. The resin body was already chopt, so I had to make it look like I did it.

Very nice.What did you used for the roof?

Cool stuff, Geezer!!

I've seen this idea done before, but I can't remember where...

IIRC, there's a real rat rod in New Zealand with a setup like this. There's also one, also in New Zealand, with an old Cadillac engine like this.

Geeze, that's THE craziest intake/exhaust set up I've ever seen. Makes ya wonder if it couldn't work?! I liked the sedan too, you said it was resin, who pops it? I like yours!

The roof material was some bridal veil lace that my wife had. it's too big for chicken wire, but I used it anyway.

The body, I got off eBay for 10 bucks - was claimed to be Jimmy flintstone.

Here is a link to the hot rod that inspired my build. There's a link to a video clip of it going down the street in there somewhere.

That is too cool, mind if I "borrow" the idea ?

I just wnt to the web page, that thing is outright wicked, to say the same about you're build just outright wicked

It's refreshing to see a '34 Sedan getting shown some love. While I realize you used a resin body, it's too bad AMT screwed up so bad when they made that kit back in the '80s. Maybe a healthy top chop is all the original needs to look decent... I've seen a picture of that reverse induction car before and like your take on it better since you used those custom manifolds and automotive carbs. I also really like how you made the wood and chicken wire in the roof opening, very convincing!

That's really cool! I like yours better than the real one. GREAT job!!!
