This was my first rod / rat rod, it was fittingly built from a glue bomb I got at a swap meet, an old AMT '32 Ford Vicky.
I chopped it (a lot), channeled it and suicide'd the front end. The engine got dress up parts from ThePartBox.com, finned heads, tri-carb manifold, carbies and beehive oil cooler.
The exhaust I made myself from solid lead solder for the runners and the trumpets were truned on the lathe from aluminium.
The front axle is also from ThePartsBox as are the finned wheel backs and the bomber seats.
The front wheels are kit stock but I cant remember where the rears are from (my spares box?).
Rear piston bumper is scratch built, along with the fuel tank, internal bumper bar, headlight mounts, tail lights, side mirror and model ship timber for the rear deck.
There's tons more but I'd bore you with all this writing, so I'll let the pics do the talking .....
Hope you like it ...Cheers TJ
