You'll have more in your rat rod than your bird able at this pace 

not even close  , even with me being a cheap skate wing car parts are not cheap and that car loves to spend my money 

[41husk]

And I don't need to pick that one up for you It sounds like a great deal!

[Steve P.]

Sort of where I was going with (WHO KNOWS), Stu. The way I understand it, the RAT RIDE craze is like the HOT ROD craze of yesteryear. Make due and run what ya brung... I love that about it and that it's a DARE TO BE DIFFERENT kind of thing... When it starts going to $100,000 bodies and $30,K frames the RICH win again.. Just like drag racing. Roundy-round. Parts and flipping.. Just look at any auction....

Stick to your cheap "in mind" ideals. Hell, I'm thinking about cutting one of my Dana's. Building a longer frame and dropping a 440" between the rails and adding the hood from my JOHN DEERE tractor.

A rad. to fit in that grill would really be a bitch!!

Nice tattoo, $400 ok, 4k no way!

oh and BTW if i was to ever get a tattoo it would be of the standing Road Runner holding a racing helmut
  most likely on my shoulder Nothing else   

[moparstuart]

And I don't need to pick that one up for you It sounds like a great deal!

   way to think on the bright side allen .  Instead of a 4 hour drive each way for me .  This one is more like 6 hours each way .

sounds like a good chance to spend 12 hours away from the wife

[41husk]

Only if the girl in the slammed rat rod is rideing with us, I got a place for her to sit

[Steve P.]

Not even if she were a midget...   

[moparstuart]

well being big and tall  visibility is bad for me in the nash 

  so i found a cool looking old bigger mirror out at the salvage yard
its been sitting in the barn for years   it was nice and big so i put it on today 

[moparstuart]

must be off some kind of international harvester   

big , huge and muck better view now

[moparstuart]

the little maltese cross ones visually look great but they dont function well at all

[moparstuart]

 

[Charger-Bodie]

Stuart, you are so cool!

[moparstuart]

Stuart, you are so cool!

[moparguy01]

itd be cooler if you modified a couple charger gas caps into mirrors. 

[Steve P.]

Great to see that!!  I understand EXACTLY what you meant about BIG and TALL... Those mirrors were impossible to see from inside for me.. 

Did you engineer something for the "STOP THIS THING" peddle yet??   

[moparstuart]

not yet  , the gears are slowly turning  lol  I have actually gotten really good at stoping it but it must change before summer for sure

    i have a beat up charger gas cap i was going to use for the gas cap russ when i change out the tank to an under the rear of the car style
but i can get it out and hot glue it to this mirror if you want   

[Steve P.]

Stu, have you looked to see if the tranny hump can shrink? I believe if it can, you would gain a lotttttt of left foot room and that may give you all you need.

[Budnicks]

i'm stilll working on the guy

That would work very nicely...

[moparstuart]

 A buddy I have over on www.69Roadrunner.com get this scrap mesh at work and send it to me free from ohio . I just paid shipping

  I'm going to prime it and paint it red , then maybe do a black checker board pattern over that . 

[moparstuart]

  will load it in here before wrapping the grille shell around the radiator

[PocketThunder]

what was the original fabric on a 31 Nash grille?
