Progress on my nasty Dodge

[Rustrod]

Well I've been busy working on the beast. These pics were a few weeks ago, I have done ALOT more but the next pics will be of the finished product. I'm down to plumbing, wireing and going really fast!!!!!!!!!!

Rat For Sure

Looks like a RAT I saw on the road a couple weeks back. He was at a gas stop. I pulled over to take a look and talk about it. He had a sword for the shift lever and other knight related items. He was running a 283 and auto tranny. Said the truck ran great was having no problems. Only thing he couldn't figure out was a name for the truck. Got many suggestions but none seemed to stick. I said how about Sir Rustalot just a twist on Sir Lancelot. A smile came across his face and a truck had a name. It's not everyday you get to name a RAT truck.

Ike, great looking project. Did ya build those headers or are they off the shelf.
Your truck reminds me of the one on American Hot Rod sometime back, they had a build off then drove from Ca. to Louisville I think. The guy with the roadster pickup lost his steering in route, could'a been ugly. Hope nuthin like that (ever) happens to any of our rat builder pals.

Looks like you are putting together a well-built rod with a lot of attitude. I like it a lot!

Yes I built the headers I used parts and pieces from others and thats what ended up. No the pistol is not a walther, it is a ROHM 8mm I brought here from Germany. Thanks for the input
