OHHH BOTH BARRELS.
don’t make me whip out the semi auto!
Should be a sweet project, but IMO an old rat deserves a rat motor. Good Luck with it.

pffft
everyone knows rat rods dontget fresh primer
or chrome
and definantly not clean whitewalls
but if you want to build yourself a corvette front suspension, i think i can dig up the x/ y / z coordintes of all the pivot points
IMO rat rods should have big burly V8s. But thats just me.
don, would u consider building the car as a full on lead sled custom turned ratrod? i have some interesting illustrations …
or do this in ratrod form
Dude. Two words.
Fucking sweet. :tup: :tup: :tup:
I love seeing the old meet the new. Can’t wait to see the work started.
cliffs :tup:
sweet, and its a good thing that the glass is in decent shape, that is one of the hardest things to find usually
Ok, I’m not looking to go all out rust, but I would like to keep it in flat black primer fashion, satin black flames, pin striping, shifter from hell, air bags etc.
I’m thinking about a c5 corvette rear end and transmission. All I would need would be a bellhousing adapter. I think I know where i can find corvette rear stuff cheap.
Nothing is in stone yet. Need to assess the situation first. I just had this plopped down in that spot and I haven’t really gone through it just yet. Seems good but we shall see. I think some frame welding and boxing is going to be needed.
I would love to do air bags on this. I think the shits HOTTTTTT. Layin frame on some titanium always looks good to me.
I just want a fucking sick engine bay with some of the most custom shit you have ever seen on a 4G63. Time will tell though. I need to plan, plan, plan if I want to be able to do this reasonably priced.
The sport compact scene needs a little darkness added to it. I’m sick of seeing sport compacts turned into transformers with TVs and all kinds of shit. I want to bring some old school darkness to new school technology.
That fits my style.
how about realistic flames instead?
and if your gonna drag frame, be gutsy and drag the actual frame, not titanium blocks
This could work… 
Wait. YOU MAKIN’ FUN OF MY TV SCREENZ IN MY KAA?! 
hrm, points for originality… but will that engine make enough torque to haul 5k+lbs around?

Absolutely. The thing won’t be that heavy and if it is, that’s what more boost is for.
2.4l + GT4088R… all the weight will just put more load on the engine so it will spool sooner
The one thing I plan on for certain is a Magnus Intake Manifold and a Hybrid Connection 321 stainless header merge collected with like 24" runners I want linear grunt.
