Hi everyone, I'll start by saying awesome rigs I'm seeing and great life style to be part of.
I've always had an interest in cars of all sorts and worked on them from a young age.
I've never really had a rat rod per say, although all the cars I have had in the past have been built up by sourcing parts from wrecking yards and I never take a car to a mechanic so in essence though they are all ratted in some way.
I recently followed a link here to a Dodge build by Wendle, great work and truly inspired by the outcome.
My story is simple, I'm still studying art and design, I've developed a small graphic design business tonicourt.com and I paint houses, put up guttering and fix peoples cars on the side to raise coin. I'll pretty much try anything, If someone asks me to do something I'll agree, and if I've never done it before, I'll google it.
I currently drive a 1989 short wheel base Mitsubishi Pajero which I purchased cheap and built up after taking my 1989 Mitsubishi Triton off the road for engine repairs (I think the triton is a mighty max in the states)
Anyway, this is when I got to thinking about a cab change of some sort, something cheap and less popular would suit my zero start budget, and then I found this old J type bedford going cheap so I snapped it up, all 6 metres of it.
I looked all over the internet and managed to find 2 so far that have been involved in cab changes. One was a reference image on this site not long ago and the other is a tidy little yellow pick up.
Ok enough of my rambling, here's my inspiration and evidence it can be done
And here's my ratty looking vision
I'm certain I will find a wealth of inspiration around this site and look forward to seeing all the other rigs people have built up.
Ps- My other hobby is photographing roller derby girls, they're just much more sexier than regular girls [dr
Cheers, Stacy
