    Need some help coming up with suspension on a new project

    I just bought a 27 Ford Tudor to make into a rat/hot rod. I think I have someone to make me a z'd frame but I may also need some help bagging the rear and building a suicide mount for the front. I don't have the welding skills to do it right. Anyone in the Spokane area willing to do that? I'd be...

    mini rats for Christmas

    I made a few mini rats for my nephews for Christmas. I haven't tried this before and there is really a learning curve. Welding small is hard! :)

    Got a ticket the other day that was bogus

    Ok guys I need some help. I need to find a site that shows the max mph of a stock 1946 Chevy pickup with a 216. I got a ticket the other day and the lying ***** said I was going 70 in a 55. I was going 60 but that's beside the point. Since this ***** decided it was OK to lie I might as well tell...

    Took my 46 Dodge rat truck to the Bonneville salt flats

    My brother in law, his 11 year old son and I took our two 65+ year old rigs down to the salt flats from the Spokane WA area (1500+ mile round trip). We never even opened the tool box. We had to keep them under 65 mph the whole way to get approx 10 mpg in mine and 13 in his. His rig is a 47...

    I went a little crazy with some flames

    I had a local guy put some flames on my head light buckets and while watching him I figured that I could do that so I tried and went nuts. I'm taking this rig down to the Salt Flats in two weeks and I offered to let David Freiburger, Editor of Hot Rod Magazine drive it while we are there. So I...

    I think it really makes the rust pop. The dents pop a little too much he he.

    I need help installing Bearclaw latches

    with an outside door handle kit into my 46 Dodge truck. I'm not confident in cutting my door up to see if it's gonna work. Since the original latch has the door handle shaft going through it and the Bearclaw is activated outside the latch it looks to me as if the latch has to install either...

    My Bro in Law's 1949 International Gasser pickup

    It has a 283 Chevy and an auto trans. The front nose is all one piece and opens forward. We painted it last Summer with the Rustoleum you can spray with a paint gun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42PKHIzyzF8&feature=youtu.be

    Got the new 440 in the 46 Dodge

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA8CzlqZE2w It sounds much better in person. Once there is a few hundred miles on the engine we are putting a tunnel ram and dual quads on the engine.

    putting the new 440 together

    For my 46 Dodge truck. I had to set the tunnel and the scoop on just to see how it looked. It has to go in with the single carb set up so we can break it in and then the tunnel and dual carbs go on! Yahooooo ha ha.

We are wondering if there any groups...

    Anybody know what year and make and model this grill is from?

    The guy who had this said he thought it was a 38 Studebaker but I haven't found any pictures anywhere that match it. Does anyone know what year and model this grill may be from? I gave it to my brother in law for Christmas because he wants to build a bucket rat using a flat head six out of a 46...

    I put together a new air cleaner and made my own wing nut

    I wanted to fill in the space between the cowl and the front end. A tunnel ram and two carbs would be awesome but not now. I know the chrome lid is against the rules but hey rules are meant to be broken. An old farmer let me look through his junk and when I found this wrench he said go ahead and...

    1966 Buick Skylark

    This is a car I've had for almost twenty years. I've built it from the ground up from two cars. It now has a 1971 Buick 455 and TH400 in it. With the 2.73:1 posi in the back and 60's all around it will still fry the ballonies all to hell. I've had it in a couple of burnout contests and with the...

    New here with my Rats

    I have a 1946 Dodge rat truck called the Knuckle Dragger. It is on a modified 1976 Dodge motor home chassis with a 440/727. The other truck is a 1941 Chevy pickup on a 1978 Chevy Caprice cop car chassis with a 350/ 700R4 overdrive. Both took about five months to build. I live in the Spokane WA area.
