 My rust bucket. Its just really mild built motor, stock suspension. Can't keep traction through 2nd. And its a 3 speed... fun truck. Build the motor, put a nice gear in it. And Give it H*ll! |

Re: Let's see your 67-72 Rat Rods...
Yea I am tryin to build mine on a budget but it is hard to when almost everysingle part on this truck needs replaced hahaa. I dont care if my truck is dinged and dented (lies) just as long as the rust is minimum or takin care of. Cheap rattle cann paint job. ALot of people hate this method but who cares as long as your building it safe to drive for you and others around. Everything can be fixed to look nice later if desired.

Re: Let's see your 67-72 Rat Rods...
Love these ideas.
I guess when I think of rat rod I think of the black on red idea. Unfortunately my truck has the original white on bottom and top and a rattle can turquoise middle. No showing rust. I think I'll have to paint the turquoise black at least. Haven't thought about what to do with the white.Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Let's see your 67-72 Rat Rods...
LOL. I never thought of that. I guess the whole thing needs to be black! What do you mean by "shop truck" build?

Oh that's nasty!!
I love this forum. Everyone encourages people to express themselves in their builds. Do what you want, it's your truck. Not a lot of forums are like that. Posted via Mobile Device |
