Beautiful car Scooter. It certainly deserves all the awards. Looks like it should handle real well. Be fun to take it to a track day.

 

[Scooter67]

Nope that a my chassis. I built this car.

 

[theglassman]

nice looking car, few things im not crazy on but hey not mine right

 

[Scooter67]

I am very aware this car does not really fit this forum. This was a two year build. I am not asking you to like it just thought some people may respect the amount of work and skill it takes to make a car look this clean. Being compared to body is an honor he was one of the pioneers modern rods.
I have over a thousand build pics I'll put up some highlights because honestly
Don't think this build interests people hear!

i didnt say that i dont respect it i build street rods i know what it takes to make them nice and clean. i said i dont like a few thing for example the hoods sides, i like them opened up or louvered to nice of a motor to hide thats all.

 

[cycledog]

very nice.

 

[Tim...Ok]

very nice, I like that color..Do you drive it much?

Scooter, No need to be defensive. People here recognize the time, money and effort it takes to build such a high quality car. I believe you will get more positive remarks from this group of rat rodders than you would get on that "traditional" hot rod site.

Glad you are posting some build pice. I'm particularily interested in the front suspension; how much you built from scratch, how it rides and corners.

 

[Scooter67]

its close ratio rack and pinnion all billet. coil overs front and rear from heits. handles like a dream only weighs about 1300 pounds.

and yes it has 1900 miles on in i have been driving it for a year or so. the first 6 months didnt drive had a bunch of indoor shows attend.

since this build i have deffinately got more involved in old school rat builds. i posted on the one im currently building.

[Scooter67]

my pleasure

I figure if you built it yourself it's fine here on RRR. It's a really nice looking car and I love that color. If I had the green stamps I would probably build something similar. I like when one uses their ingenuity too make something out of almost nothing like many guys do on this site. To me thats what defines a rat rod. But i like nice cars too. Build pics would be nice.

 

[Scooter67]

I'll start uploading build pics
