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
