Well... find a rusty old car in the desert and it ends up in the crusher but find a little old 132 year old Model 1873 Winchester Rifle propped up against a tree and it goes in a museum. :D[cl http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/01/15/132-year-old-winchester-rifle-found-propped-under-desert-tree/

Saw this today and thought I would just throw it out here. Wish I had the cash :D http://macon.craigslist.org/cto/2198423329.html

My little 89 Ranger go to work truck has a little over 200000 on it and knocks. The 2.9 had to be the worst Ford engine ever for oil getting where it needs to be. Well, I saw a Ranger on C'sL today in nice shape for a 93, low miles and a 3.0. When I got off work this afternoon I went and...

Don't need them just yet but what are the guide lines for looking for old headlight buckets as I cruise the swap meets? Is there a diameter that is better? I am guessing it would be best to find some with trim rings. Are new replacement bulbs / lenses available for them? [S

Rat Rod building somehow has made me the family metal working go to :D My cousin want me to build him a rack to attach to his four wheeler to haul deer on. He also wants it to fold up out off the way. I see plenty of them on the Internet for jeeps, trucks etc. using a 2" receiver hitch so that's...

Went to the Perry GA Auto Fest and Car Show today. Took a few pics for you guys to look at cause I know you like pics. :D Only took a few shiny car pics. Lots of them there though. Lots of parts to be had also. Got to meet "48fordnut". Great guy and used to ride the rail down the quarter. :eek...

Knowing my addiction, I suspect if I did not have a project this would be in the garage. :D About four miles from the house. Suspect it could be had for around $1500.00... give or take. http://macon.craigslist.org/cto/2032722013.html

The Perry Georgia show and swap meet is coming up again soon. This will be the second one. The first one turned out great! Lots and lots of parts, a few good Rat Rods, and loads of cars to look at. Most of the guys that are doing this are Rat Rod owners so Rat Rods are welcome! Nov. 12th-13th...

Would like to see some pics of battery boxes for ideas. Mine is a truck and will be welded to the frame somewhere behind the cab. Speedway has one, but I think I want to build my own. I want to keep it simple but strong. :) Any thoughts?

Posted these pics on my build but have a design question. Because of a front cross member and rear end assy. I already have I built a 90 degree off set in the frame at the rear to make it all work out instead of straight rails. I plan to put an angle brace on the outside of both sides. I may...

Anyone else having problems uploading pics tonight or is it just me? Can't seem to get the site to recognize any pic format. :confused:

Found this years ago helping someone clean out an old garage. I was cleaning up mine today to make room for my frame when I ran across it. No one knows what it is, so I thought I would give you guys a shot at identifying it. Any ideas?

If this has been started before, I apologize. I searched but did not find a thread for photos of the cool stuff you see wrote are painted on Rat Rod doors. Any takers?

Ok guys remember there are no stupid questions, only old guys that have forgot their geometry. :o I am cutting tubing for my frame. I know if I want to join two pieces of square tubing and make it match for a 90 then I divide by two and cut two 45's like a picture frame, but I get dumb after...

I have been working on my truck cab but I am ready to see two parallel rails in the shop with some wheels on it.[dr I order my tubing today and I have my plans drawn out on what I want. It will be your typical frame with a Z in the front and a Z in the back. I was just wondering how some of you...

I was hanging out at a friend my mine's booth at the swap this weekend (he had shade ;)) and heard something I had never heard and was wondering if you guys know anything about it. His brother had tossed in some bird houses he built with car tags for roofs. Well this guy comes by and says they...

Made it to the Perry Georgia show this morning. I plan to go back tomorrow after lunch. Some Rat Rod friends of mine put this thing together. I took some pictures this morning and I am posting them in the car show area under Perry GA Show/Swap Meet. A lot of cars were not there yet and I left...

Posted this about a month or so ago but for those interested it is this coming weekend. I'll be there with my wish list[dr http://www.perryswapmeet.com/

Here is a show coming up (April 2nd & 3rd) that some Rat Rod friends of mine are starting up. It will be the first one but response has been good so far. http://www.perryswapmeet.com/
