    i like it,

    but something looks terribly wrong with it, the rear axle doesnt line up with the spring perch and it doesnt look like its parked on a hill. twisted frame maybe? also wish it didnt say rat rod in the title but i know thats what you have to do to sell a car these days.

    I think the nose needs a little bit trimmed off the rear to look quite right. I do rather like the sharknose treatment, though. It kinda reminds me of Dick Kraft's Bug, but set up for the street.

    Slo60- I've lived in florida my whole life and live right on the coast and have to say that happens a lot less than you think, plus most flood cars get shipped out of state, retitled and sold up north, so you're probably more likely to get a flood car in jersey than florida.
     
  11. Gainesville should have mostly high and dry... I like it too... but it needs smoothies.:D
     
  12. Looks like they might have set up the front 1/4 elliptic spring to compensate for a driver... if he used the Posies kit, it has a pivot on the back and a bolt that adjusts the height.
     
  13. Frame Custom bent. Does that mean that Barris was driveing it when it got crashed? I had an old buick once that was custom by colision.:D

    Pretty cool little play toy for sure. i likes it.

    The front reminds me of "Bender" from Futurerama.

    Cool little car.

    Lately I've begun wondering why you couldn't build a dual-purpose HA/GR.
    Back in the pioneer days, guys stripped off headlights and fenders from their street cars to race on the salt, small bull-rings and the drags...
    Seems the HA/GRs are a toss-up as to running radiators, there's no rear suspension, and the driver seat is dead center in the rails.
    I wonder if a guy could build something like this little gem, enjoy it as a street car most of the year, and then relocate the seat and strip the headlights.
    Or, build the car with a fixed firewall and swap bodies between a street body and a race body. Bolt-in roll bar, and go racing. Maybe a Track-T style street body, and the stripped down HA/GR body for racing...
