Thread: low-buck steel ratrod

Tweet

I ran across this a couple of years ago, don't remember where, but it could have potential. Especially if you had an old used up s-10 sitting in the back yard.

This vehicle has been trashed many times on a lot of different sites . I personally think it embodies all that ratrodding is about . But then again , being main stream is not what I'm about . Different strokes for different folks makes life interesting . How many of these have you seen .

I actually had somthing similar in mind. With some sort of fuel injected 4 or 6 set up with all the computer and such from doner car, SMOG Legal. I thought I hadnt seen that before. Well until now. Just goes to show its very hard to come up with an idea that no one has done before. I thought no one would be dumb enough to chop and narrow one of those 50 international trucks and rod it, except me. But I have found several in the build process although none narrowed. Oh well it was what i found. Although I still think its "Ugly Betty".
