Rat Style Muscle Cars

[YoungBlood]

Here's my Rat Muscle Car

And my actual Rat Rod in progress: 37 Ford-chopped 6.5 inches and firewall has been cut back 4 inches. I am finishing up my 4 Link. If someone wants to check out more pics they can PM. I will forward you onto my build link, but everyone likes A Bodies right? No room for an old school Hot Rod eh? LOL

Once the 37's done I will be back on track with the Duster, but I am thinking of leaving the flat black fender and spots I covered rust on the roof, quarters, and tail section. Also, Steelies and beat up Dog Dishes.

Here's mine ... A before
And after the after is still very ratty ..ish rattle can job lol

 

[toolmanmike]

Great job guys. You need some surface rust to be a true Rat Rod. I need to sand on mine to get some patina. lol

This is sort of why I didn't want to do the body and paint on my 68. If anything I kind of want to plastidip the chrome in gunmetal.

 

[Abodybomber]

Nice car,Hersbird.

But my favorites were these two!rayer:

I'm planning to do the entire powertrain and interior, leave the all original patina for at least the first year before paint.

I'd drive this just the way it is! Anyone want to donate a car to me so I can get started on it?

 

[Dartnut]

My car would probably fit in this category.
Except for safety items, i did this car on the cheap.
It'd definitely a 30 footer. I put this car together with what i had for under 5 grand.
I used lots of Krylon color match spray bombs. Passenger side is original paint, everything else was done with the spray bombs.
The pics hide lots of flaws! The tires, wheels, interior etc are all used and just cleaned up.
Check out my build thread for more info!

I kinda wish I still had this car, but one day I will replicate its horrible condition lol :toothy10:

Sunbaked weldable primer and lots of rust. The plan was to keep it looking the way it was and make a sleeper but it was too big of a project for me at the time.

 

[Abodybomber]

My 72, I called"Wunderdart". /6 ,904 - 7-1/4. . My college years, best car ,I owned on a budget. Was painted Army green. Miss it,like hell.

as differnt and cool as those cars are, something about calling them a roadrunner, even though they were, is like calling rosie o'donnell attractive... or female
