Thanks to both you. I have to make sure and keep this one away from Raul. I don't want him to grab it and shoot it with one of his super slick paint jobs!

There's some great ideas for you in this thread. Cranky's stuff is always a treat to see. This one is about as rat roddy as they get and as expected, has details everywhere you look.

Then we've got those lawn chairs. There's gotta be a how-to there. The air cleaners and beer keg tank on Joe's pickup are great ideas. It's nice to see some of the four-bangers, side pipes and bomber seats. I'm trying to come up with some side pipes on my 29 roadster, but they just aren't work'n out so far.

Kim's pickup bed cover is a clever idea. I like the idea of the hi-boy tub too. I've seen a picture of a stripped down, beat up 29 running across the salt at Bonneville and always thought that would be a good idea for a build.

There's gotta be plenty more rats running around MCM's dark corners. Let's keep the ideas coming!

The first 2 are a little 'unconventional,' but they fit the OP's request parameters - chopped, slammed, rusty, whatever(mostly the whatever)

And my in-progress A is a little more traditional; here's an early mockup photo:

I like the wheel set on your 32...what kit did those wheels come from? I'm looking for the larger tall tires for the rear end of my 32 ratty.

The whole set of wheels and tires is from the Revell 'Rat Rods' model A sedan kit(whitewall side turned in). RepMinCo also has period-correct sprint car tires, if you need them taller in the rear.
