Its a Pines. I bought one for my little brother back in the '70's, wanted to build it into a go cart later,but time went by too fast. Ended up getting him a Norton later, though!Have fun with it.

 

that is considered a rat rod and is not allowed on this site! lol Look forward to seeing it at the world of wheels.

 

i just started on it today, built the frame and floor, started on the fiberglass motor started to do a supercharged flat head but think I'm just going to do a blower through a new hood. So more pick tomorrow thank for the info on this. I was thinking it was maybe the 80s. but hey for 15.00 not bad lol. I did the handle-push bar but i don't like how it turned out i just hope this thing doesn't look like it was thrown together over night.

 

I think yours will be done way before mine! Heck my son may not even fit it when I get it done

taasher53....a SUPER build!!
And, it's traditional!! (smiling)

 

Thank you, I was scared that it would be called a rat rod lol I'm trying to get away from the rat rod crap. The hood is hand formed steeland the wheels came off a old wagon. I wonder how much it would cost me to have it striped at the show.

 

Rug rat rod?

 

Rug rat rod? I dont get it?

 

Rug rat as in ankle biter, sometime known as babies.

 

Thats awesome!! Get them started young and keep them involved in cars.

 

baby rat lol i get it sorry. i saw a 40s ford that was black with red finders i loved it. She said her first bad word a week ago it was funny not that i want her saying any of that stuff but.... I asked her if she wanted a Harley, she said yes, i ask fat boy sportster, she said sportster. right on thats my girl. : she almost 2: so i asked do you want a hot rod like daddy's, she said yes, i ask a ford or Chevy she replies quick and head on F*ck that! lol i laugh my ass off.

 

OK its coming down to the wire. I had to work late last night so I have to get allot done tonight and tomorrow. I'm loading it up Saturday morning and heading out. Build or bust!

 

still looking for ideas for thr grille?

 

Mesh is quick, easy, cheap, and cool. If you're not going to fab up a proper Deuce look-alike grille, the mesh is the next best thing.

 

cookie rack- they are cheap, and chrome, will cut and bend easy.

Google search "cooling rack" then look at 'images'.

i like it better without fenders. Kinda has an altered bantam look
