Southern Fried RatNasy "T"

[Southern Fried]

Had a little time to kick this thing around since tha' first post. Thanks for tha' comments and suggestions. Means alot! Anyway, went thru several wheel/tire combo's, from what I had in mind, to suggestions from you guys. After a good dose of coffee, cigs, and "Blue Oyster Cult", I somehow kept commin' back to tha' one shown.Still gotta dull tha' tires some more. After that, it started to take on an "attitude". Went thru some steering wheels. (Thought a "Cal Custom 3 spoke Blue glitter" would look period good... Ugghh...

Seat aint final, but close. Did have some duct tape repairs, but was a little much. Southerners may drive "death traps" but we like ta' sit in comfort Tacked in the "custom made" plywood dash. Dropped on the steering rod and "Ford Tractor" headlights. Gramps never plows at night anyway.

Needs final touch's...fuel lines, fan (the original had a little fan/hose problem, coil wire, generator wires, etc...

Critique welcome...

Phillip,a lot of people try to capture the essence of the rat rod in style and execution and fail. You my friend have succeeded in every aspect, great job. This is certainly a "build" to be proud of.
