I’ve started working on my RSC $4K buildoff car. I’m starting with a GM 305 from an 87 GMC, mated to a 700r4, and a ford 8” with 3.0 gears so it should get great fuel mileage. Total price for the drive train, $775.00. The body is a 1918 dodge brothers touring car that someone had poorly grafted...

A few of you have seen my cars but now, I’ve finally dove into a bike build. Sort of, kind of, head first. I was looking for a honda shadow due to its small tank, small v engine, reliability, and mono shock rear swing arm but couldnt find one in the right price range so I kept searching...

I just picked up this rear end for literally nothing. I went out to the dump to throw some garage junk out and I always look to see what's in the scrap metal bin and saw a rear end that I thought was from a caprice or another gm but after getting it loaded and getting it home, I couldn't see any...

So, my girlfriend really wants a car of her own and I've been collecting parts for a while bit by bit with nothing really planned until now. Started with a 28 essex 4 door that's missing a front door, a 36-41 ford front end, 9" housing, and now a 50 dollar 292 with transmission and divorced...

So for the last month or so I've been experimenting with dual shield welding. If you don't know what that is, it's where you use flux cored wire and a shielding gas. The reason being for the experimentation, I was at work one day and they were using our big 480v wire feed welder and the welds...

Guy has had this car for sale for a while. If you're interested, I'll get you his contact info.

I decided that seeing as I have a ton of pictures from my hunts in the wilderness of north central Montana, I'd start a thread of everything I have found lying around in fields. That way, those who aren't following my 33 build thread can see what I've seen. Plus, I can add to it without...

Probably a long shot but I'm looking for a front right hand door for a 28 Essex 4 door sedan. Here's what the car looks like. And what the door should look like from the inside.

Got news last night that a friend of mine, Gary(lumpy) Davis passed away on his drive home from a car show due to injuries suffered in a collision. I noticed at the show his tires were showing signs of age, and didn't say anything when I knew I should have. I'm not blaming myself or him but...

Im sure anyone with any sort of social media outlet has already heard but in case you haven't heard Bill Hines passed away to start slinging lead on God's classic beauties. RIP Bill Hines. http://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?title=Bill_Hines

So, I don't know how many on here are from Mt, Wy, or even Alberta and Seskatchewan but in case anyone doesn't get many flyers for this part of the country, I've decided to have an entire thread where I will post flyers for different car shows in my state. Feel free to add your own also because...

Ya know, I love the rat rod lifestyle. I love taking a bunch of junk and making something cool and unique out of it but, I hate the term rat rod. In reality, most rat rods that are built right are more like traditional hot rods. Do what you can with what you got. It doesn't have to be pretty but...

So, Monday I picked up that 31 from behind this ol guys house, got her home, unloaded, and went to sleep. Tuesday, I organized it all to see what was there. Both back doors, 2 drivers front doors, a passenger front, 2 sets of front fenders, 2 sets of side skirts and running boards, both the rear...

This doesn't really fall into this category but it doesn't fall into any category at all. I'm looking for someone to do some aluminum welding for me. What I need is my water neck welded together but no one in my area welds aluminum. I'll post a few pictures tomorrow if I get a chance.

I searched and found nothing so figured I might as well start my own. The VW site that I frequent has a thread on "Your Dogs In and Around Your VW" so why not here except with rods? Doesn't even have to be your rod. Anyhow, here's my main squeeze Sophie in front of a rod at a local rod run.

Browsing craigslist like I know a lot of us do I found this. If I didn't already have a good project going I would. http://montana.craigslist.org/pts/3901375777.html

Okay, so I stripped apart my spare front axle but I'm trying to figure out what spindles I have. The outside is .75" and the inside is 1.356" and they're about 6" long. I know they're early chevy due to cable brakes and the way the leafs mounted to the axle. The reason I ask is I'm trying to...

So, I got the ford and I got the chevy Tudor. Time to get to work. Plans are, use the existing frame but box it in along with z notching the rear end. Gonna run a ford 360 from a 76 f-150 backed by a 4 speed from a 73 f-150 2wd and a ford 9 inch narrowed down. The wiring harness will be from the...

Hey y'all. My names josh and I'm from Denair, Ca but moved to Havre, MT for work. Recently I've been into VWs but have turned to the dark side, aka rat rods. There's just something about using bits and pieces that don't go to any one vehicle and making a completely bad ass ride out of them. I...
