    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. Thanks
