Thanks, that means a lot. Had some guys over the other day when I was working on their rock crawler. The subject of rat rods came up, and I showed them the Bonehead Truck, and the new one I am working on.
They said they liked the Bonehead Truck..... But liked the new one better.
Something about horsepower.

Don't know if anyone has posted this car before.
I may have but can't remember.
This is Ken Ranford's 'Lil Boy from Vancouver Canada.

6" chopped top, 392 Hemi, blown by 2 vintage ’57 McCulloch superchargers, ’30 Ford coupe. Rolling on 21” fronts and 19” rears it has no front brakes and the rear brakes are hand operated ( not foot ). Fuel is carried in a bomber oxygen bottle, the tail lights are from a ’36 Desoto, the frame has lightening holes and the full belly pan is louvered.

Inside the gauges are housed in ’40 Ford heater housing, it has a swing away steering wheel, a removable top insert and only 2 petals. (clutch & gas)

I like it

That is a Wild Car.[dr
Would like to try driving it down a back road.

 

[Neverdone]

That is a sweet looking ride, but no front brakes?? Wonder what kind of stopping distance it has? The swing away wheel is pretty neat too!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WANT!!!!

I SECOND THAT - I WANT!!! [dr

Is there a build thread on this somewhere?

 

[zzrodder]

'Littleboy' is an awesome car, though it is more of a "fairground cruiser" than a legally driveable vehicle, something along the lines of the Purple People Eater, though the PPE has seen some exhibition drag strip use. Littleboy has been in several magazines and has been seen all over, even at Bonneville I think and never fails to impress. [cl

Here are some shots from the May 4th "Golden Super Cruise". Finally getting some more rats to the big monthly party:
