Thread: My Rat Build

Tweet

Thanks guys for your kind comments about my build. Still alot to do but its alot closer now than it was last year this time.
Thanks again,
Larry aka Crazyrat

Got my windshield installed today and finished installing my dash. Just got to wire everything up now. Speedway backordered my harness so it looks as if the first of the year is a better target date on it.
Here's a couple of pictures.

ps, almost forgot, a good friend from Ill sent me a killer taillight for a Christmas present. One heck of a nice guy. Thanks Denny.

This really came out nice, I went back and read some of your earlier entries. I love the stoplight! Here's the link on my Plymouth you asked me about a while back:

Hope you had a great Christmas and New Years, Larry.

Crazyrat - That came out great! The stop light is perfect! The winshield is very vintage cool! Nice job all around. Now it's time to play with it!

where did you get your fuel tank from

Thanks guys for your kindness. Its not ready for the first test drive yet, still needs brakes and wiring but its getting there.

GLH: The keg came from a friend who had a couple. I think I paid something like 20-25 bucks for it and had another friend weld the bungs in for the fittings, probably have around 40 bucks total in it. Holds 15.5 gal of beer...aaaaaaaaa gas.....

looks better ever time i see it. i know it gona be a hoot to drive. dang cool hot rod crazy rat.

Nice job looks like it will be a blast to drive
I'm looking for a fuel tank similar to that for my 30 ford rat

GLH,

Purchase a keg, pay the deposit, invite a lot of your bubbys over and forget to return the empty, waaa-laaa, instant gas tank.

Or just post on alot of hotrod forums what you are looking for, surely someone has one laying around for cheap.

Good luck.

remember that you can drink the beer cheaper than shipping one somewhere

LOL thanks Crazyrat I have no idea why I didnt think of that

Little update.
Thanks to my buddy Denny for the help on the door graphic design.

I got all my brake lines ran this weekend and plumbed. I now have good brakes. My to do list is getting smaller. That first ride isnt too far off now.

Get someone to take pictures of that first ride. We want to see the ear-to-ear grin. It will happen; you can't help it...
