you have lake pipes on the sides right??, but I also see pipes going down, do those have a muffler on them and where are you running the exhaust to the back? i cant seem to find a place to mount muffler and exhaust under the cab? i want to have a electric switch to choose which exhaust i use, lake pipes for monster time or muffler rear exhaust for stealth time.. I have a 427 engine and its just to loud to roll into a condo complex

Thanks for the kind remarks about my Dodge pictured above. Just like anything else, there's a range of hot rods that can fall under the Rat Rod label. The Dodge is finished off a bit more than some.
Here's the '38 GMC my grandson and I built while he was in high school. As you can see, he wanted it a bit rougher. It was for him so he dictated the style and the quality of work. I assured it was built safe. He learned a lot about fabricaton on this project. Now he is working on wind farms and cell phone towers. Yikes! I can't go 10 feet above the ground.

48 2.jpg48 3.jpgMight as well make my intro here. I most likely will not post in other sections here, because I don't have the moey to build a $50k hot rod, but love to look at em . Thgis is my 48 F1 I built a while back and just sold it this year. I made the front grill using two full size chevy truck door window frames. hahaha.It was a fun truck to drive. I'm building a low T bucket right now that has a 289 Ford power plant. Looking forward to looking at your rides and shiowing mine.

Lots of Rat,d Pick-ups on here. They all look great. Each one is unique. This is my ride (once a 35 Ford Pick-up). Maybe more Hot-rod than Rat.It makes sense if you don't think about it!
