New Rat from NC

[grim reaper]

I was informed about this site when I made the mistake of trying to be a new guy on the H.A.M.B.
Wow! What a bunch of stuffed shirts! I was not well received as most of you guys probably already know.
RRR is where I should be. I used to build and play with the high dollar shiney cars, but after doing a few rats in the past years, I'm hooked.
My latest creation is my 1927 Graham Brothers Rat Hearse.
It was all original when I bought it. 4 cylinder, 3 speed, manual brakes, and a top speed of a whopping 30MPH!
Of coarse I couldn't leave well enough alone and now it has a 350 with a 350TH trans, 6" drop straight front axle, power disc brakes and Ford rear end. Much cooler and a lot more fun to drive. I enclosed a few pictures.
Glad to be part of RRR!
(P.S. the hearse is for sale if anyone is interested)

Welcome to RRR. Yeah I was asked to leave the HAM-Board as well. Some of the guys on there are ok, but most of them can be a bit over the top with their sandbox rules. Their loss, your gain!

Really dig the Hearse! When I die I'd want to take my final crusie in that thing!

Yeah, I've got a chopped top 41 Ford rat pickup I'm going to start on after the '27 Hearse is gone. I've enclosed a picture of the one I had a few years ago. Its going to be about the same except with a '39 front clip instead of the '38 like the one in the picture.
I bought a nice S10 frame with air bags on all four corners. It will lay the frame on the ground. The '41 should fit it pretty good. I have all of the parts to build it except the bed.

Welcome to RRR! I've seen pics of that '41 before - really liked how the chop was done. In fact, I think Bonehead has a picture of that truck for ideas in his latest build thread. The GB is cool too, not sure I could daily drive it though. No offense, but I don't like you're choice of rims and tires - but, it ain't mine and to each his own. Hope to see a build thread soon on your next '41!

The wheels and tires aren't my favorites either, but you use what you got until you get something else.

Don't let your first ride in a hearse be your last!

I live in Madison. Northeast of Winston. Come on over to the cruise-in in King Saturday evening (just above Winston). I think I'll go. Nothing else going on. You can't miss me. I'll have the only GB Hearse there!

Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the site.

Thanks for the welcome Bonehead. With a name like that, you should own my '27 Hearse!
