Well finally found something I can enjoy and will really sink my teeth into.
I like Rat Rods.
I hate antiquated technology, at least some of the shit from way back yonder.
I always wanted to do a Rat Rod with newer technology for drivetrain, braking and handling.
Well now I have it.
I have a 53 chevy that I picked up for $200. Body is in decent shape and frame needs a little work, floor pans are solid from what I can tell. Doesn’t matter regardless I have the ability to fix anything so I am not too worried. It’s also ALOT shorter than it looks here which is why I like it soo much.
I also have a 94 Mitsubishi Mighty Max that is justin sitting here that I will probably never do anything with as it was always on the back burner.
I will be lifting the drive train from this car and transplanting it in the 53 chevy.
Mitsubishi 4G64 with a 4G63 head, large turbo, blah blah blah. Newer technology for the drivetrain, braking and suspension. Old skool looks on the styling. B.A.
I don’t expect this to be done anytime soon. It’s something between jobs etc. Probably take me a couple years but it will be done.
Oh and cool project. Reminds me of a certain movie where they put a turbo japanese motor in an old american rat. Gonna race it down a mountain when you’re done?
Seriously though, cool project. Forgive my ignorance, but when you say “rat rod” I have it in my mind that the car will stay beat looking? Or will you clean it up cosmetically too?
