Looks great. They even liked it on the HAMB!

 

[Shea Laking]

Are those Lincoln valvecovers?

I dig the 2x2 carb adaptor, the way the header dump perfectly lines up with the toeboard stamping in the corner of the cab, the proportion of chop, box length, the size and placement of the headlights...

I could go on, but you did build it, I'm sure you know what makes it, well

Thanks for sharing your pics.

Regards,
Shea

Your truck looks great. Those are Lincoln Valves covers Shea Laking. How do you like those Lester tires Scrap Metal 48?

 

[cycledog]

Very nice indeed.

Really nice job Scrap Metal!! My 51 started out that same color originally. Your paint survived far better than mine though. What a great build! As has been said, the proportions are fantastic!

Now that's saying something! Congratulations Scrap Metal. You might be the first person ever with a rat rod whose build met with their approval.

Valve covers are 56-7 Continental only. Here's a shot of the frame I built for it.......

 

[donsrods]

I've seen so many of these years done this way that miss the mark. Yours really is nice and well proportioned. I like it a lot.

Thanks donsrods.The 48-52's are a challenge.......

 

[rainman]

I would agree wiyh DonsRods proportions are right on looks great. One question how do you like the intake carb setup does it work well? Been thinking of doing the same with my 4.3 vortec.

 

[flatgreyG]

That is a clean ride. Love it all.
