1940 Chevy Master 8.5 Business Coupe' Rat Rod
Hi, I’m Ole from Germany. I'm a car nut as long as I could remember. I own a few old cars, three are American.
One is a 1940 Chevy Master 8.5 Business Coupe' and that’s why I'm here. Usually I prefer to restore to stock, but the car is not complete and it is difficult to find parts for it over here.
So I choose to make a rat rod. But in Germany it wasn't allowed for a long time to build rods, so we have not much experience.
May be some of you guys can give me an advice.
What I have is a 235 straight6 engine with an 848 head. Guess I would like a “vintage” tuning. Should I swap the front and rear axle? What is the best choice? Is it difficult to chop this car, all is rounded?
Any advice?
Thanks, Ole the Kraut
Thanks for the inputs guys !
