Okay, grouchy retired Grandpa looking for information to start first project with my only son. He's 30 and yes we are decades behind on that father/son project. So he asked me if I would build a rat rod truck with him. Sure I got plenty of time finally. So we are starting to collect parts.....the first is a 1/2 barrel beer keg we plan on using as the gas tank. As for my screen name, Kota's my 1st grandson. He calls me Poppa.

Hopefully your definition of a rat rod and ours isn’t the same thing. Take a good look around here and post a good picture of what kind of car you plan to build.
