Chuck Most Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I must have a thing for Citroens, as this is the third one I've 'ratt-ified' so far... No, it's not a bathtub, or an egg. It's a '24 5CV powered by an air cooled three cylinder made from a halved Corvair six. No idea if the seats on it vibrate, like on a modern Citroen, but maybe they do. As always, the link to the bonus footage: http://public.fotki.com/ChuckMost/rat-alley/24-citroen-c-bucket/
crazyjim Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Look kinda sorta normal from the front to the back of the seat and then it gets weird. Where did you ever get a kit of a 1924 Citroen?

Where did you ever get a kit of a 1924 Citroen? Dean's Hobby Stop in Flushing Michigan, my friend, where I get all my 'oddball' stuff. Here's what I started with...
crazyjim Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I like your version much better than the box art.
Foxer Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Stands up and cheers!!! I always thought that box looked too normal..I never saw the rear end. My confidence in Citroen is restored! The engine fits perfect..love it.
Chuck Most Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 It's also a tiny car- even in the 'large-ish' 1:24 scale, it's smaller than any of the 1:25 Model T Ford bodies I have stacked like so much cordwood.
vizio93 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Looks good Chuck !!! I like how loooooong it is
RJWood Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Chuck, you come up with some great ideas, and this is no exception. Great job.
Dave in Seattle Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Very nice! Inventive too! I made the cover of SAE many years ago with the stock version of that little beauty. One of these days I shall take pics.... Dave
cobra98 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Looks great chuck I really like your rat rods. BTW,after looking through your fotki. album,Thanks for the link,...got the the bug to try one myself....keep,em coming
bsoder Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Ahhh you see these every day :P seriously what a cool idea, and a great looking 'rod
Harry P. Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Ah geez... you can't swing a dead cat around here and not hit a few Citroen rat rods... Kidding, C-mos... that's pretty cool (and unusual, for sure!)
