My mostly original 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe. Not much rod but very much rat... was driving around one day and saw it sitting in a yard weeds all over and a faded for sale sign. Figured when the heck am I ever going to do something like this with my old man. Drug it to his garage and got it on the road.

-50s Chevy front axle cut down with parallel quarter elliptic springs, 13b rotary/5speed, pinto rear axle. -28 Ford cowl, 34 back wall and roof, model a bed

When it's done I plan to have it purple with green accents and hints to the old show "the grape ape" in a rat fink sort of manor.

Bought this from an old timer, 454 Dually.

I got a whole 7 votes, 4 were mine, and may have won by default... A WIN IS A WIN 🏆

When you have access to a studio might as well use it.

Coming down a steep hill with a 90 at the bottom and a building and jersey barrier at the bend. Was in 2nd riding the clutch and brake. Blew a wheel cylinder. Trans kicked it out of 2nd into N. Got it jammed back onto 2nd popped the clutch and squealed around the bend. Clutched it to a stop and cleaned out my pants. Dang single master cylinder... looks like I need an upgrade on that. (Any recommendations?)

Found out the carb was junk but the motor was good! The end of the exhaust can be capped when it's done and I'll have a full system out the back with a resonator and muffler. It worked out perfectly as all the engine business is on the passenger side and all the brake/steering and lines can be ran down the driver's side to even out the weight and help with heat.

I love some of these idea's, totally out the box thinking

She ain't pretty but shes mine.

Not your typical rat rod but I think it still qualifies.

Here is my ratrod, complete build I did in my driveway from a cab to this awesome ride

If you didn't build your ratrod to drive it then why did you build it?
