Your car is fucking hot! Same shit, new school technology, old school flair

hrm, points for originality… but will that engine make enough torque to haul 3k+lbs around?

those cars arent that heavy, the bodies are tin cans

Who knows if this turns out well, maybe it will start a trend.

I don’t think 1953 counts for any sort of emissions or OBD status lol.

id love to build a t bucket or something like that would be cool

newer technology defies the purpose of a rat rod IMO

that and the blasphemy of a 4g63

A nailhead would be much more appropriate.

Agreed Rat rod = solid front axle, rust, old highway signs, and a flathead ford with cherry bombs

That is the recepie for a rat rod.

Your project will be interesting though…

The more I read about this, the more I want to see this thing.

I don’t think you’ll piss off the true car guys, I think all you’ll get is congrats.

I keep thinking of this lil dude, kinda sums up the attitude of the car:

Damn, looks like a unique project youve got lined up. Way better than wadsworth’s Escort with a cavalier motor or whatever swap it is hes doing in that one thread that he keeps bumping all the time http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/87FOXGT/Picard2.gif

Good luck with it, im looking forward to seeing the progress! :headbang:
