New PHoto bucket link "http://s32.photobucket.com/user/jamnajar/library/VW%20RatRod"

THis is what we ended up doing: getting about 30' of 1"1/4" tubing and getting crazy making a frame. It is only tied to the fram to allow us to still remove the body. I added a bunch more on our Photobucket page: http://s32.photobucket.com/user/jamn...ry/VW%20RatRod

Added a bunch of photos to a photobucket page: http://s32.photobucket.com/user/jamnajar/library/VW%20RatRod We spent some time trimming the firewall to build a frame we can mount a firewall to. Also built a lattice to support the floor

Initially we are going to install these on lake-style headers. I am going to build a prototype on my VW baja that has a merged header into a open pipe, so I can test the spark plug placement, fuel nozzle location and possibly adding holes to encourage combustion. Attached is a pic of the headers

The premise of a bomb is having something expand rapidly, then having that pressure contained for a bit to make it more powerful. I will certainly have gas ignited and very rapidly expanding but it will have an outlet (the open end of the lake header), so it "shouldn't" blow up. I have heard of...

Thank you sneakysnake, you have confirmed my recent assumptions about the condensor (after staring at diagrams vs the parts they use) I am planning on making a how to and posting it when i am finished so others in the future can build their own. I think that I will build a system with a...

What type of brake master cylinder are you running? My brother and I are also doing a V8 VW, though a very different build, and are currently looking to get the brakes started. THanks!

I had a question about the flamethrowers I am building for the exhaust: http://www.ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26881 if anyone here might be able to shed some light!

Hi guys! I am looking to add flamethrowers to my brother's Ratrod. I am not interested in washing down the cylinder walls with fuel and am going to go with shooting fuel into the exhaust. I have a question about the following image. Specifically about the condensor/capacitor: most ignition...

It should weigh less than 3,000lbs (really we don't know) We figured the VW master would not provide enough juice but wanted to make sure. IS this the MC that junker39 Was talking about...

I totally dig your Rat! My Brother and I are a fan of: build what you want. We always like VWs and RRs! THe cab is sure coming together nice!

Looks good! What are you going to do to it?

I will need to double check but i'm pretty sure if we were riding on the rim, the box would still be off the ground..

Where we are now: 4 link brackets boxed, body mounted, (ignore the piece of tubing just sitting there), had to modify (shorten) the grill I made, created the radiator support bars (that actually just bolted in?!) Bonus pics: Brother and my dad using the Speedway tubing bender, and my brother...

It wasn't easy to get the body mounted took half the day but it's bolted on now. We wanted to be able to remove the body, so we took our time and made sure it would be removable.. The frame sits really low, our lowest point seems to be the Vega steering box?!!:confused: I'll attach a pic...It...
