Not really a rat rod..

But it kinda is in the sense I built it out of all spare parts I had laying in the garage, Plus I've got a grand total of $232 dollars in it.... A buddy of mine was going to move and didn't want to fool with dragging it to his new place, so he told me that if I'd come get it I could have it....

So after it sat here a couple months I started throwing parts at it... It's almost done now, except for a few little things...

Here's a shot of the 302 that I dropped in it.. not pictured is a NP435, and dana 20...

Wiring up the new, more compact dash...

Here she is the day after I got back from the hospital when the fan tried to chew my fingers off... Moved outside under it's own power... you'll notice the straight, pristine, body...

And the the luxurious interior...

Stoled the roll cage out of the old racer, and the seats I had in the garage...

Here you can see I spend countless minutes preping the body for it's rattle can paint job..

Here I had finished up the tie in plates for the roll cage and got it bolted down.... and got the fuel cell mounted... and even got the little guy one color....

Here I had throw some el cheapo lights in it, and a set of 35 inch tires on... plus a few stickers to break up all the black...

I still have a little bit to do.. like..
sorce some rotors for the disk conversion...
redo the brakes...
build a front bumper
put a set of shocks on...
and tie up some loose ends....

but like I said, it was build almost entirely of spare parts, and I've only got $232 dollars in it.. and I'm guessing that after it's said and done, I should have well under $500 dollars in it..

What are you putting rockwells under?

I had some under my model A for a little while (but a little bit of sense kicked in befoe I destroyed the A).

The white Bronco you can see in the pictures.. I had planned on building it into a tube buggy crawler.... but since I'm outta work, I'm trying to sell the rockwells... figure I can pick up another set down the road...
