The Z.Z.Rat Build

[sgtpontiac]

I will have to suggest that to our local farmers...

Sounds like a more humane way of putting down the natural fertilizer.... at least for us city folk..

the back of the frame will be capped, and the bed will be the back half of a 59 Cadillac. all of that will have to wait a while

Check out page 10 of this build & there are some pics of the Caddy we brought home. Mike & I measured up the back kinda dream'n & scheme'n & we figured we had to cut out a center of about 20".

Here's some pics

Moser engineering in portland! Indiana built the rear diff for us. A friend of mine works there. they were able to use some left over parts to make it up.

Here's some pics of their showroom. the other pics are at our shop.

Had a little knee surgery yesterday so have some time to catch up while sitting around the house for a couple.

Hey I came across some of your recent work (pics) today. Pretty darn nice.

Think I mentioned to you awhile back about some old copper woven lightning ground wire.Looks just like a snake. It's aged so you know what it looks like. Do you think you could make a coiled up rattle snake using it as the body & maybe some brass as the rattles tail & come up with a head & mouth opened showing fangs?

I would love to give it a try.

finally got back around to making some progress on this one. wanted to do something neat on the rear suspension and tried to same some room. so i decided to go with a cantilever coil over set up, nothing to crazy. everythings works great and no issues through complete suspension cycle. still needs some minor things finished up

working on design and set up







all mocked up minus some little things like spacers and more tube work
