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. ![http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01859.jpg](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01859.jpg) ![http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01858.jpg](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01858.jpg) ![http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01856.jpg](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01856.jpg) ![http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01855.jpg](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01855.jpg) 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. ![http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01854.jpg](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01854.jpg) ![http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01853.jpg](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01853.jpg) ![http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01860.jpg](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/Hybriddon/Dons%20crappy%20project/DSC01860.jpg) 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. Don Hybrid ---

F&F3 :mamoru: 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? ---
