my Lowwest RAT

[plasticchopper]

this started as a junk 32 ford coupe body that i had used to chop another coupe it looked like this



i used the rear decklid to roll the back of the cab and after hacking on it worse than a computer hacker i got this!



note the crack at my favorite people on the side of the cab


i cut up a set of taillights off of a 49 merc and used an old tank i had laying around


the interior is made up of some dune buggy seats, straight pin shifter, a custom steering wheel, and i found a good use for paddy wagon side panels as floor covering


this is the kinda showy BBC with scrap blower duel quads and headers the motor is plumbed to the rails!


this is what they are plumbed to thru the main rails they connect to the rear mounted radiator (with electric fan) sitting on a skid plate made of some copper sheet the rear suspension is kinda dreamed up coil setup

That's definately sharp. Still have to try and build a true rat, but I doubt I'll ever be as good as you guys.
