Hey everyone, My name is Eddie. Im 25 and I like cars, trucks, bikes, anything fast or with style, or both. I'm into just about every type of custom there is, except for the DONK thing, cant get into that...... Anyway. Right now I've got a 77 nova with a 450hp non stroked 350, a broken 4spd manual tranny and soon a winters quickchange in it (its sitting in the garage waiting). The nova is most likely going away though. Ive found a love for the "rat rod" I dont take offense to the term so hopefully no one else will if i refer to my project thing as a rat. Im currently looking at a 40 chevy truck cab thats in rough to moderate shape, but its $100 with doors, hoping to put that healthy v8 and the winters in with a 3sp tranny i got laying around. Sorry that I posted before reading the instructions, guess im like most of us that try it first then when it doesnt work they read the directions, or at least look at the pictures....

I tried to warn you, but your curiosity has brought it to this.... I do not in any way condone this type of actions, but this unfortunately is a DONK.......
