Too much snow for ME to work outside on a car , lol !! You're a tuff sum-bitch !!

Good job on the car- but shit that snow is headed my way by Monday!!!

You got balls man, Frozen, but balls! Can I buy whats left of the body for an ice fishing shack?

 

and another one bites the dust all the rest to go!

 

That is just about what all the crap the people call rat rods look like around here. Crap, that's what they are... bravo for this dude fixing it up to be a proper Hot Rod.

 

no I don't have cable, havn't had it for over 2 years haha

 

This is the auto CAD drawings for the body, I havn't started dimensioning them yet, but myabe this will give you an idea,

The wood is going to be Deft high gloss over pine, cherry stain on maple stain, the cowl, frame, wheels, running gear, is all gonna be black (just like a stock woody) I working on getting another 283 that I'm gonna do in either stock chevy orange ( like the one in my truck), or black, not sure yet.

 

lmao

 

Whoa man, you need to step back in line and quit going against the herd...
Have fun snowy snowington...

 

O-H-

everytime i see snow like that..... I thank god i moved away from it...

GO BUCKS!!

 

Whoa! Those pix brought back memories of changing a clutch in the snow. Never again! You are either determined or one of those other de... words.
I wanna watch this one! Glad you're sticking with the Woodie type body. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

 

hahaha i feel u man

 

Why is it that people that beat their kids are arrested and their kids are taken away. People that abuse their pets are arrested or at least fined and their pets are taken away. People that abuse their cars by turning them into rat rods are accepted by society. To hell with anti-clunker legislation. I am pushing for anti-rat rod legislation. Where is a congressman or a senator when you need one?

 

cool thread!

 

To the original poster-I salute you. You are saving one from the dark side.

 

did you just roll that motor out of the frame like a snowball! u have some gonads my freind! good job can't wait to see the end result.

 

Man, my hats off to ya. That's serious motivation... Can you send a little my way???

 

You ARE on a mission from God

 

05 wasnt a good year. I think that is the year themag "rebl rods" was born. the height of grue confusion.

 

Jesus!

You gotta want it BAD to be working on a car in that shit.

Wowzers.

You, sir, are an Iron Man if ever there was one.

 

Hell, being from NH I can't fathom working in the snow!

 

this cowl is really rough, i might try and find another, but if not i'll make it happen

 

i want this thing to sit almost stock hight, im working on a 4" drop axle for the front though

 

making my own hairpins, and I used some vintage sheet metal to make my patch panels

 

I traded what was left of the car for a 315 hemi (possible FED project?) and $300, sweet deal!!!

 

Well you got a damn good deal i didn't think there was much left to sell! And put the hemi into this one
