Lately I've been back in my rat rod groove, mostly accomplished by finishing up long-forlorn old projects. I chopped the cab and Z'd the frame (Revell '41 Chevy pickup) a year or two ago, and the stuff has just sat around until the last week or so. All told, I've got maybe 20 hours into this thing... stretched over roughly an 18 month span!

Anywho, here goes...

Key ingredients- (Besides the aformentioned '41 Chev parts)-Pontiac 250 I-6 with exposed timing chain and a turbocharger from an International dump truck, spiked helmet 'carb scoop, Pontiac bumperettes containing '59 Caddy bullet taillamps, rear frame kickup with nitrous bottle and battery from a Revell Pro Sportsman '55 Chevy, vise grip driver's side door handle and double end box wrench inner door handles, and the following scratchbuilt junk- bed, fuel tank, rear frame and floor pan, dual remote oil filters, header (aluminum solder), distributor and coil, alternator brackets, and oil filler tube (capped off with a skull from a Games Workshops kit).

Hey Chuck,

Man, like your rat-work, this is one sweet tin worm, like the fact you listed the modifications and parts, it is just such a sharp lookin' rat. Thanks for posing.

We're going to need a tetanus shot after looking!

Looking? I'M the one who had to TOUCH the thing, and I'm fine! Wait...

Well, look at that! My right arm just turned green and fell off... B) That can't be good.

Well, look at that! My right arm just turned green and fell off... ;) That can't be good.

Oh well, these days you could probably go to walmart and find a new one :)
