Hot (Rat) rod on a budget
Hey, I'm 17 and have very little money, and i want to start a project building a nice late 20's early 30's hot (rat) rod, I dont really want to build an award winner, just an eye catcher. Right now i have a 68 lemans with a pontiac 350 in it and i was thinking about using the engine and tranny out of it and hopefully finding the rest of the stuff in a junkyard or on ebay. my main question is what kind of frame would look cool out of what car. ive had friends tell me that maybe a vega frame (maybe i could use the frame off of my 68 pontiac would that work?) with a 27 ford body would look cool but im not sure how much modifying to the frame i would have to do to fit the body on (i dont want to have to do to many modifications to the frame). Any suggestions would be great. ThanksLast edited by horsepower77; 01-06-2006 at 01:51 PM.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
