Welcome to RRR. I have a few buds in Wales and Glasgow who might have what you're looking for. I'll let you know what I find next time I talk to them!

Much thanks! Found what I needed. Also had a ear-to-ear grin when I saw their proving grounds gallery. They've got a 1940 sedan over a foot in the air :D

Yeah, I was impressed as well. Usually whenever I see 20-40's cars around this area they're just completely rotted through. I'm searching everywhere for the original engine specifications so I can give an accurate description on it whenever I pull it off and sell, but so far haven't found...

Did you paint those flames? They look sick! You've got a nice theme.

@TMP I never have visited the outer banks, but I've always meant to. Maybe it's something I should plan for this summer!

Hey guys, haven't been on in a while and finally have the rights to my first build thread! Dropping by this Saturday to pick up this beauty and completely transform it into a monster. Comes with the flathead six (still trying to value to sell due to swappin in a 305), solid frame, body, all the...

That's a shame about the accident. Welcome from SC/NC (Charlotte-Clover)!

Welcome. You'll enjoy it!

There's one thing I've noticed with the setup that was described in the thread you linked, and that's the part towards the end where he mentions having to add a tremendous amount of weight to the front in order to balance out all that rear-end weight. That being said, with the diameter of the...

I'll be posting some of the concept sketches pretty soon, once I get the mid-engine vs front-engine design sorted out. As far as pre-mades, I'm still looking for something that I feel would be as close to what I plan on doing as possible. Rest assured, they'll be plenty of photos! :D

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Thanks for that, I'm liking the Buick 1935 and 1938 4-door sedan. [dr If not that, I might just take an international, remove the bed, and insert the engine there. What do you guys think of the mid-engine layout? Excuse my lack of mechanical knowledge here, but I'm confused as to how it would...

Bonehead I just looked at his truck. AMAZING metalworking skills. That's beyond functionality, that's art! :D As far as the styling, I get the wasteland feel from it. I can definitely dig the skulls, gives me an idea for the hood ornament

Looks like an awesome project! I've never seen one of these until I searched them from your post Welcome to RRR

Alright, that's a pretty straight forward answer to my concerns with the welder. [;) So as for the stick welders, my neighbors got a Craftsman 220 stick welder for less than 100 that he wants to sell, I might as well pick that one up for the framework. 100 bucks seems like a bargain for...

+1 on painting the whole truck that way!

I've also bought my first 110v MIG welder. It's a Easy MIG from Harbour Freight, and I'm really unsure about whether it would have enough power to put on brackets to hold the motor or to do any frame work at all besides cosmetic bodywork, but it's a start to get to know my way around a torch...

So, I posted my introduction and I thought I'd post what I've come up with so far. I have a few questions and concerns about the rod but I'll ask them as they come into mind, and thank everyone in advance for all the help! I'm looking to start my first rat as a small 2-seater with very large...

That is one awesome rig!

Hey all, just wanted to take my first post to introduce myself. I'm from SC around the NC - Charlotte border, and have recently started on the design for my first rat. I'll be sticking a thread in the build section shortly with my progress so far (virtually 0). A short while back I really got...
