Right, update on the rat rod...Materials list for the chassis has been generated. If I do it right, I can build the chassis itself for about $400. I've got a line on a 1928 Sedan Body, for $700. Has some rust issues, but has both the original doors.
So, I figure I've either gone off the deep end, or I'm bloody brilliant, at this point...I'm going to build a Diesel-powered Model A Ford rat-rod, with a 6BT Cummins Diesel, and an NV-4500 manual transmission...Also, can you say Push-button clutch, mounted to the shifter?
Hiyo, folks...Been drinking, and I figured I'd post something up. Tunes of the night, include the Saddle Tramps, Goddamn, Gallows and such.
