Custom 2 seater Rat build

[Ken B 3,116]

All it needs John is an aaaooogah horn mounted on it now! (and some black leather on the seats)

[wallfish 15,905]

This was my last custom build and since it was sold, I've been wanting to do another build but just haven't got around to it. Decided to do a copy of this build and the plan is to try and have it done for this years big show.

 The lowered front axle is done, welded some frame parts and collected most of parts needed. Had to buy new front fenders and will use a cut up old RJ hood I got from AMC Rules that came from Stevebo at the show a couple of years ago. Finally found a use for it!

I'll try and post some build pics as it progresses.

 

I do have another build in the works too but doubt both can be finished by the end of June

I forgot all about that.  Mmmmmmm T-bone steak with a few cocktails at one of those expensive Gettysburg joints shold do!

Hopefully I can get this clone 2 seater done in time. I'd like to see the look on Bill's face (owner of the 1st one) when I roll up with it.

Maybe a bit of padding on the seat this time??

 

Mike...........

[wallfish 15,905]

Don't worry Mike, I'll pad the seat for ya this time!   (Got Roids?)  

KenB hooked me up with some black leather for the last one but never got around to it before it was sold.

[wallfish 15,905]

Been pecking away at the new one.

Got the firewall, most of the steering and 90% of the frame is done.

Still waiting for some sprockets and a new carb for the M8 to show up.

I like the term, " Firewall" ! 

[wallfish 15,905]

Got some more done and was finally able to take it for a test drive today. Should be done before the big show but probably won't have time to get it painted. I'll be shopping for a new steering wheel and an 8 speed shifter for it.

Fire wall does kinda sorta look flammable.

AND DONT SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT !!!!

[wallfish 15,905]

Gett'n closer.
It's not going to be completely finished but I'm going to bring it.

[19richie66 16,877]

I like it!  Actually looks good with no front fenders. 

[wallfish 15,905]

Too Late Richie, got'em on tonight! I don't like these new fenders compared to the older type I used for the last one but oh well
Got some more done. Sparky will like those cushions!

[Sparky-(Admin) 19,439]

 Sparky will like those cushions!

 

I would if I was going this year.....but life has gotten in the way  . Maybe this machine will make an appearance at the next Zagray show??
Mike............

[wallfish 15,905]

Did you spell WIFE wrong?
I forgot you weren't able to make it this year. Bummer!

I would love to take a ride on that bad boy with you John !! 

[wallfish 15,905]

NO Problem! Take it for a ride with your son too!
Actually, ANYONE who asks is more than welcome to take her for a spin. Very simple centrifugal clutch drive so just put it in gear, hit the gas and go. This one doesn't pull wheelies like the last one, bunch of added weight up front this time. Don't worry about anything breaking either, it's still under warranty!
