vizio93 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 Well I have been working on it, believe it or not. I have got the tunnel ram intake on it and the carbs glued down. I have also put holes in the frame rails like you see on a lot of hot/rat rods. Now all thats left before paint is to do a little detailing on the body. Pics to come this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whale392 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Looking good. Sullivan offers a carb intake for these in 1:1, but I have yet to see a Tunnel-Rammed 4V DOHC Ford. With the way yours looks, I am suprised it really hasn't been done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way yours looks, I am suprised it really hasn't been done! Thanks man, I new that tunnel ram would look really good poking out of this rat, and then the velocity stacks just fell into place. I'm pretty sure I got the tunnel ram from the revell 70 mustang kit. I think the carbs and stacks also were in that kit too. I got the engine out of the GT500KR kit. Took that supercharger out and mixed every up in a bowl and Vwala !!! A Tunnel ram Ford DOHC !! I still have to wire it and plumb though. Stay tuned !!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepperdrumstix Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Fine build on this little truck. I like how you left the roof height stock but channeled it deeply. The tunnel ram dual 4s will look perfect on the build. These type truck builds look best with lots of motor sticking up nearly as tall as the roof. What color(s) have you got in mind. I will watch this build. Good job on the frame holes. Those will give the truck a nice old school look. Good job on the motor. Those old trucks are fun to build in lots of ways and the new type so called "rat rods" are a perfect building style. Thanks for the post and photos.

Patrick Thanks man for all the compliments, I really like this kit and will probably buy another one ( or three ). The colors I was thinking about using are either flat black with a silver frame or metallic silver with a black frame. I will most likely do the flat black though. More to come later :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
