Nice red wires.
One you pop the clutch on that 454, they'll be red Brillo Pads.....
 
I like rat rods and the flat black/red is great. On a spridget? Sure why not. Not sure the fins are necessary though.
 
well its better than adding 22's and a crocodile skin top
 
Interesting, but what's going to hold it together with all that structure missing and all that additional HP!! I don't think he will have to worry about Brillo-padding the spokes, since the AH axles will provide a fail-safe system before that ever happens!! :eeek:
 
Oh that's a riot. I have a vision of stomping on the throttle, the engine stays in place, but the rest of the car turns upside down. Poor car.
 
The stupid big block is just redneckitude.

Gotta admit I'm not a fan of the rat rod look, but I think the fins are surprisingly well done. Let's face it, it could have been a lot worse! I can see it done up in a nice shiny BRG.
 
Well, I finally looked.

Wholly carp.
 
no no no
there is a custom like mine then there is an abomination

steve and shaggy
 
It is listed has body only, the motor is not with vehicle.
As a hot rodder I can see what happen. Body sitting around the shop and you keep looking at it and start thinking, Nothing invested in car, no title, let me try doing something different.

when the motor was placed in bay I am sure this is when the dream went south.

Actualy it would not be a bad rod if they extended the cowl, cut off the front and install a 30s ford front end on it, Bring wheel wells forward,open them up so tops of wide 26" Micky Thompson tires are breaking out of fenders, keep it low, small block with chrome, wide white walls and baby moons, deck the windsheild about 2".

Make perfect sense to the non purist, hot rodder
 
3/4 race 50 Merc flatmotor with three two's sticking up in the air......
 
Why you ask? because he's on a budget and could not afford..
