Re: 47 Dodge Rat Build
Not sure of the direction the pedal car will take...
![]() Did the tattoo for the fuel tank, and the guy decided to throw in the another tank so now I have two… ![]() Picked up an Edelcrock carb, and a set of Headers recently, will post pics later today, and will get some more time on this one soon... ![]() Thanks for looking in Guyz!!! ![]()

Re: 47 Dodge Rat Build
Here's a shot of the Fuel tanks (Only one will be used), the carb awaiting rebuild, and the Headers…
![]() The guy I scored the headers from is hooking me up with an intake as well as a burnt cam or two to use for some ideas for the Rat... ![]()

Re: 47 Dodge Rat Build
Small update…
Today in the mail was a package from Rian in the UK... ![]() Among the goodies was a Bacardi Bat bottle topper and a small Sugar Skull... ![]() With the assistance of JB Weld, I added the skull to the pouring spout of the bottle topper and then cam up with this Shifter extension idea… ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 47 Dodge Rat Build
Paging Ta2Don !!!!
A couple of weeks ago I bought some steel from the local scrap steel yard for making the trucks bumper irons. While there, I chatted to one of the guys and told him about the stuff I get up to, playing with rubbish. I also mentioned I wanted to make a wheelbarrow tub soap box cart. He reckoned that was cool, asked for my number and said that if a decent tub came in he would give me a shout. This afternoon I was just at Charing Cross station on my way home when the phone rang..... BINGO !! So when I got back to my station I picked up my car and drove via the local industrial estate to find this. I offered to pay, as I always do in these situations, but he said it was probably worth 45p so not to worry. ![]() While down there, I popped into the local council estates maintenance yard where I always have a chat with Pete, and then get to rummage his scrap pile. TREASURES !! ![]() ![]() Start to get the picture ?? After robbing off the bits I needed for this challenge, I ended up with this lot. ![]() When Nicola came home, she popped down to the garage to see that I had not hacked off any limbs or welded myself to something. I also showed her the Rallye wheels I got yesterday, and her response was "They are even better in real life, I hope you are going to keep them Red" After this AI felt quite brave and asked her to take a photo of the projected challenge to Ta2Don over in Arkansas. BEHOLD !! What is it to be?? ![]()

Last entry from me on here.
I think you did good. I personally have no emotional bond to my toys. Tools are different.
