Hey Guys new to this board,from Canada... but been building cars and drag racing for years...even had my share of magazine coverage...also i do custom paint 28 years + so the new project is a 54 Bel Air......going to be Ls1 powered, carb th350, open drive train, disc brakes on all 4 sides other than that.....plain jane HOT ROD style cruiser..
For gods sake dont mention rat again or the hamb police will be all over you! Welcome from iowa middle of nowhere!
If ya want rat style try ratrodsrule or one of the other RR sites. This forum is traditional cars! Of course build it how ya want but please leave off the negative rat connotation. If you have a giant rubber rat on the front seat, cobweb welded gussets and an overflow reservoir made from a Mountain Dew bottle you might be in the wrong place!
Ok Lets go back and start over How bout a barn fresh style crusier with a LS1,TH 350 and as low as i can get it (yet still driveable) just a bare bones looking hotrod......with a hula girl on the dash.......no webs...no tacky sh$#t
