Hello to All,
My partner and i are from Moonta South Australia.
We have been bitten by the rat rod bug so here we are....
Weve had a few old beasts and tinkered with everything possiable automotive. But absolutley love the rat rod, they are absolute pieces of art work!
Our first little rat rod is a Datsun (Ratsun) 720 Diesel (which was recently entered in a burnout competition, and was the last 4cyl alive).
Weve started a new project. We have a 1950's Bedford cab, and a 1947 bedford grille which were hoping to cut, chop, and section, with the help of this site -Hopefully - lol
It will be our first major reconstruction of this sort.
Weve bought a 318 V8 to power it, all chucked on top of a 1970's Mitsubishi chassis.
In true rat rod style, were doing it on the cheap. The cab & front grille were free, chassis for free and $500 for a running motor and trans which came out of a Jag.
Once we get abit further into it, we'll posta progress thread. Any input and ideas along the way would be greatly appreciated
Cheers,
Damo & Gem
