I like how you stretch the front tires over the rims for a little bit of a low profile look. Is it going to have just one stack?

[ap40rocktruck]

funky & wicked cool. Will be quite the head turner when it is done

[biggusditchus]

Thanks all, a little more done...

I have now got the bed sorted along with a fuel tank my mate has done on his lathe. The rear lights are the original marker lights from roof.





That's it for now until the shell comes back from paint... this isn't a Rat rod anymore just a Rod

That's really nice!
Reminds me a 1:1 build. I met the owner in his home garage, and he told me how the build started and all. The engine is a M-B found in a tree harverster. The the

He also had another rat rod that has a Harley Davidson and Jack Daniels theme. It had a barrel in the back for the fuel just like your R/C.

That bed and fuel tank looks great, I hope you decide to keep the polished full fenders also. They will look sweet with that wooden bed.

[Espeefan]

Sweet fuel tank! Is the filler cap a thumb screw or something? Looks kind of like it, but I need some fuel filler caps for my own tanks and am looking for ideas. I like the wooden bed you've built for it too.

[biggusditchus]

The filler cap is one I got from PMD (garden trucking), Im really happy with fuel tank too, there is detail on the side that you cant really see.

Paint is finished, the wrap hasn't worked really well but it adds to the effect want to get a logo made up for the side but not sure what.. thinking of the name for it being "deadbeat" in line with all the skulls.






The colour is a green, gold, copper flip. Doesn't show well in the photos.

How about a mean looking rat?
Cheers, Neil.

[thercfreak2012]

nice

[john]

Any ideas for a grill? I am working on a small 4 cylinder engine for mine I not planning on running this one on fuel but maybe the next it I learn how to control the fuel delivery better if you want pics ill show you. You could have it run off drive shaft turn the crank an spin a mean looking fan.

Taken a while but I guess you were right.. saw these on Joes ebay site and had to get them. At a show over here I found a set of low profile RC4wd tyres and grabbed them cheap (£5 for the pair). Think it looks tons better.








Reckon we could do some damage with those spikes

[spudd]
