Has anyone laid eyes in person on the model a "rat rod" frame speedway sells?

I have seen this model a "rat rod" frame in speedways book, but has anyone seen this thing in person? Is this thing junk or what?

 

if rat rod is in the name i would assume....yes

 

Humor us, post a photo.

 

I think he is talking about this:

The frames are made by this vendor:

They do nice work. I think they had one on display at the HAMB drags last year.

 

maybe 5 years ago, rat rod is a brand name now. id bet its a new model a frame with a z'ed rear end or something.


edit. somebody bet me to it.

 

their ad says a 24" tire will give 4 1/4" ground clearance on the front end.... okay, you got your 15" wheel, so your total tire sidewall is... 9" for a grand total of 4 1/2" below the rim? Nice scrub line speedway.

 

I have seen the pictures but wanted to know if anyone has seen one live in person.

 

I just noticed I have a new Speedway catalog next to my right foot, I should organize things around here.

 

is it my eyes, am i looking at that wrong ? or it the rear set up to be underslung? to match that huge kink in the front.

 

The rear end mounts above the frame. Thats kinda cheesey I think.

 

I saw " ratrod frame" and expected to see two 15 ft sticks of exhaust tubing and some old fence T posts.

 

Mine's on the left,as the rack is close.... as is the wall.

 

under slung rear doesn,t have to be cheesey...mine is a four bar with 5 inchs at ride heightjust have to have a sway bar and good shock..none of with i see in the pic,,,so to do it rite ,build your own

 

I mounted a Tudor body on a guys homebuilt frame that was underslung in the rear like that awhile back. What a pita to build the floor/ bodymounts! Coupe, roadster or truck with no trunk floor might be ok but if your building a sedan I'd look for something else, seriously.

 

x2 ,ha, pretty much what went thru my head too

 

Shouldnt it be called the 'Bleed sweep frame'
