ive always wanted to build a rod/ratrod and now ive got the chance

cheers dave

rods aren't all they're cracked up to be
but you've got to own one to find out

THOMMO you NEED to take this van to the next nationals and leave your fb sedan at home...... (no motive here) Cheers Mark

Gday Mark
Im not making any promises, Theres a lot to be done
Cheers Jeff

Jeff, you should contact Andrew from Street Neat about the front window, he had a template made a few years ago for his chopped panno, check it out here,
Trev .

Alright Thommo, at least EK61 can watch the progress

Tough call, but good home looking at Thommos FB..

If you can better my build budget your laughing! I succeeded in not cracking $5000 (just), careful planning and parts selection it can be done.
Also not being afraid to have a go on your own helps.... and mine is my daily driver/family croozer, it just doesn't get any better.

I can't wait to see what you do to it.

I do already have a lot of parts at home which can be used,
that helps the budget.
The car wont be running any fancy mechanicals,
probably 186/trimatic, drum brakes.
I wont be showing off anything under the bonnet.
The chop, stance & wheels are the only important ingredients.
Please have some patiants though, its not going to happen overnight.

That will help heaps, its also not hard when its already stripped and a good base to start. I'm a patient man, after all it took me nearly 4 years to do mine and so far 6 years to put a twin carb setup on the roadster.....

contacted clatsworthy about a windscreen still doesn't know what one will cost

Thinking of getting the axe out are you ratbox

Axeman is doing a ute & van,
so between us we might get a group discount on windscreens

I need one too so count me in if they suit 4 1/2 inch chops and I may need a second one towards the end of the year

They all seem to be different heights.
My new van had 5" removed & Axemans look lower
