Re: Big Rat A sedan
Scratched a drive shaft this morning. So the Hemi can be connected to the Geezer Gear box.

Got the spring perch on.
And a pair of header plates scratched up. The Dodge headers are too sophisticated for what I have in mind. They'll go back in the box.

With that motor and those tires you'd be able to lay rubber till you burn 'em off the rims. Nice work Clay.

Re: Big Rat A sedan
I have the radius rod mountings front and rear done. added some welds to my frame mods. Have some hydraulic brake lines ready for the fronts.
We all knew going in that this big Hemi would need some extra room in this A body, so I have made some initial cutting into the firewall. The new insert will go dang near back to the dashboard piece. I am determined to keep that FUGLY stock (kit) intake manifold.
I need to go still lower, so I'll have to go further back into the upper part of the cowl piece.
When I get this all squared away and firmed up, then I can tackle the top chop.

Re: Big Rat A sedan
That's quite a bit. Looks good though. Rat rods are cool, there are no rules.

Re: Big Rat A sedan
Yesterday, before the old fool fell and broke a kneecap, I tried daubing welds on the floorboard with Elmer's Carpenter glue and a straight pin.
Wearisome, I pulled off that, and started scratching a gas tank. Half inch wooden rod and a couple of 1:24 hubcaps.

Re: Big Rat A sedan
Huh carpenters glue for welds, never thought it would take and hold a form, nice. Can we please see a close up of it? I'm very interested is seeing the finished result.
Nice work on the set back, the tank looks pretty sweet too.
When you say "the old fella", do you mean you? That totally sucks.

Kneecap? Ouch!
Just as well your hobby is modelling and not Jogging - or is it?

No.... tell him it's VITAL!!!!
Sorry to hear Clay. You should have done what my dad always said to me whenever I fell as a kid:
'Never fall down Al, always fall up, it's much safer'
Hobble away old man!!
