My building back ground is really with backyard built bikes, not rat rods. So this is more what I do in the ole hobby shop, not the attempt at the rat rod I am starting. lol Yes, it has six carbs. Yes you have to have six sync gauges. Yes, it can be a tad time consuming. A good bench sync helps...

I've messed with the CBX Here is one I did a few years back and the second pic is my trike which will be done this spring.

How do these drive when done? Looks great.

Awesome, just plain awesome. Just curious, what kinda gas mileage do ya get ?

Looking great! [cl I'd love to hop on the bike and ride over for a visit sometime to see your work in person. Are you guys around most weekends? Send me a message if a visit is possible. I'm building a 46' Ford Panel right now so these panel projects are especially interesting to me. Cheers! Wino

[cl Stick with man. Where there is a will there is a way!

Looking for some leads on camp grounds that wont be too uptight with loud cars and bikes. I have a group that meets every year in the past for Hunnert that will now go to this event. Anyone from here going? Would be great to meet a few guys from the board !

Well, got the truck home. The pieces are a whole more rough than I first thought. [S I have a truck load of work ahead of me! :D I will post some pics tonight.

Well, I will give it a go. Plan to change some of the front suspension parts anyways with a lowering kit. If I have room, the motor will come back about 12 inches to allow the pipes to come out and over the frame behind the front wheels. Everything ahead of the steering box is gonna go...

Really? Aweful lot of 40's Ford trucks out there fenderless. You must be referring to the back part not looking good fenderless? Maybe I'm making a mistake then. [S

Here are a few more pics for good measure. This unsightly mess is gonna have to be trimmed and hidden behind a modified version of the stock Panel's grille. No overdrive, I guess I'll be passing everything except gas stations! Got these Hooker Headers for the Z-28 that I will cut up and modify...

As I mentioned, to make this build finally and actually happen I went and purchased a 1988 Chevey truck roller, damn near complete. Maybe not for some people, but for me this will make the build easier being I don't have to set up everything from scratch. I do however plan to modify a bit as I...

Been planning this build for what seems like forever. Finally just gonna do it. I don't have the money to get too crazy with this build either so $$$$ will play a big role in my decision making. ;) As much as I would love to build my own frame I just don't think its gonna happen. I'm pretty...

Been looking into what rim and tire I need as well. I like those really tall wheels out back but am uncertain of their size. Do those super tall tires run on a standard easy to find rim in the junkyard nowadays?

Way to go MOM! You are one lucky dude.

I guess rat rods have a lot to do with money spent. Its just part of how rat rods came to be. But can a guy with money build a rat rod? Yep. Does that mean its got to have sh*t parts? Nope. Does it need to be dirty or unsafe? Not a chance. What makes a rat rod a rat rod to me is the...

You mean you guys don't have one of these cutters. And here I thought we all had one. :D

I'd love to have that thing. Where do you find such stuff? Whats that worth?

If I won the lottery I'd like a Porsche Cayenne as my "new" daily "all weather - family" sedan. That thing is BADASS for an SUV. For me though......I've always wanted a 1967 Corvette with the pointed raised hood scoop and the ZL-1 aluminum big block 427. For a stock car that one takes the cake...

Amen brother. I'm still working my way through the maze. Closed two businesses (restaurant and a wholesale wine company) in the last few years and now I'm playing catch up! Still got lots of back taxes to pay to the only legal mafia. :( But I'm earning again and this time I'm not relying on the...
