unconventional rat rod
Im in the middle of building a toyota rat rod that will be flat black with flat black smoothies and wide white wall tires
-Body mods-
4ft bed molded to the cab shaved emblems, mirrors, third brake light and rock guards.(i would shave the door handels but i like to run it at the strip and their rules prohibit shaved handels)
-chassis mods-
the wheel base has been shortened 23inches. it has a four link and air ride suspension all 1/2 inch
-power train mods-
it hsa a full roller naturally asperated 289 with a C-4 transmission and a ratchet shifter
-future mods-
tripple chrome tripple opening lake pipes (functional) with flame throwers. glow in the dark flames im thinking about chopping the top 6 inches but ill keep every one posted
p.s i know that my ride doesnt fit the traditional rat rod qualifications so take it as you will, i still think it is the coolist to me
p.p.s ill post pics as soon as posible[IMG]http://[/IMG]
Ill take rust any day over that itchy ass fiberglass!

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
