Floors getting mocked in. Relax, fellas, the rear section is resting on the driveshaft. It will have plenty of clearance when done. As soon as the...
@ Bill, I have met and chatted with Skull Orchard. I'm not gonna do much trash talkin' except to my local buddies. I know how this motor ran in a...
It'll be painted this winter, but it will be in black primer until then so that I can make Salina and the Hamb Drags. Ran out of time. This gives...
Been a while since I made any progress on the Tudor, but I am in a full blitz to get it race ready. I have decided that there is no way that I can...

Just cleaned it up, and it's still a wreck.

It used to cost $3k and up to do this. This setup is around $1k, and you just can't get a much cooler look for that price. I've always liked the...
Here is the link for the stacks. http://stores.ebay.com/ISPWEST-VWPARTS?_trksid=p4340.l2563 This is for the carbs....
Very tidy build. Nothing wasted, all business, excellent proportions and stance. I would love to line up beside you at Mokan. Well done, Sir.
Actually, these are 40s. This is a stock 350, and I'm building more of a looker than a runner. Still, anything that weighs 2000 lbs. has to haul...

Like I said, It's disease. I'm far from being done with my two current builds, and I'm chompin' at the bit to get the next frame mocked up for...
Thanks for the nice words. I haven't been able to work on it much for the last couple of weeks, but I am ready to put on an all-out assault to...
Hell yea, solid..........That thing shares a mutual badassasness with mine. Love to line up beside it at the HAMB drags!

For those of you who think that this is a rat rod, just wait 'til it's done. I think you will see that it is neither a rat or a traditional rod,...
Thanks for all the support, guys. It helps on those days when you just don't feel like grinding or sanding or sandblasting...
Guess which one it is.
Got the airbox back from the powder coater. I was pleased with how it turned out.
HotRod 33, I formed the rails out of 10 ga. (.134") hot rolled P&O sheet. I designed the section under the body to be shorter and wider to lower...
I think I'll stay right here. I have only had a couple of negative attitudes aimed at the car, but I have seen overwhelming interest in how and...
Nuff said??
An hour and a half later, and the support channels for the hoops are fabbed and cut in. The hoops are trimmed and ready to weld in.
It's a pump gas motor with 3.42 gears. Won't be too comfy, but it is definitely road worthy. I'll bring one of my turrets with me. Maybe I can...
Firewall/ midplate is in. Combined with the two hoops that will be under the cowl and the door bars, she should be pretty rigid. Floor/ seatpan is...
More pics. Worked on designing the firewall/motor plate today. Two hoops under the cowl will support the firewall, cowl steering, and reversed...
I'll be at MoKan if I have to push this pile of rust down there myself! I've got a grudge race with my buddy who has a badass Anglia. We are...
If you are a biker, it's a knuckle head. If you are a rodder, it's a nailhead.
