Newbie with Rat rod build.
Hey All.
Heres a few pics of the creation Im gettin. It started life as a 54 International Harvester R120 dually but its gettin transformed into a wild ryde!
My buddy is the metal fabricator and is puttin it together and I helped design its looks and built the motor and try huntin dwn parts.
Its been Chopped 7 inches, custom 2X6 frame with the IH diamond cut into it thru the frame, Has a 3 inch drop axle and were using a 14 bolt dually rear with custom adaptors and installing dual Semi wheels! The motor will be a 355ci sbc with a Weiand 6-71 blower.
Heres wat we got so far. Enjoy! RR

Nice project you have there, your right it looks like it's gonna be a pretty wild ride. You should use photobucket for your pics though, and you can resize them to fit the threads better.

Looks cool; Joe's right, though. If you shrink your pictures down it's easier to look at. A lot of computers have Microsoft Office Picture Manager; it's really easy to do it on there.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
