953 nut 51,790 #3 Posted April 25, 2015 The skull is cool but it has been done before, I think the ballpeen hammer head adds a true rat attitude. The hood ornament is a bit too shiny and nice, needs more r​attitude. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mels 174 #4 Posted April 25, 2015 And if you blow a gasket you can make a new one with the hammerhead I would'a suggested a barbie head down there but her hair would melt on yer engine 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 15,937 #5 Posted April 25, 2015 Nice Rat I dig the lowered front end but please don't trust those snap rings (if that's all there is supporting the spindles) or you will dig the front end too. Can't really see exactly what you did with them from the pics so just throwing out $0.02 worth but you can throw it back at me if needed. I like the shifter too, definitely true to the rat rod theme! Is it traveling to the big show? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it traveling to the big show? thanks for the thumbs up thought about the clips I drilled and tapped the spindles and bolted them(octfst idea for that) as far as lowering I flipped the axle and extended the tie rod end spindles so the tie rod link will clear the frame was easier than I had planned..like to take it to big show but not sure if making it this year...thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stigian 1,234 #10 Posted April 26, 2015 I rather like that, nice work The only thing I would change would be the muffler system. I'd move it back a bit so it's not sticking through the front of the hood.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like a machine gun tho....I'll bet under the hood it says "Kilroy was here" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
