I'm guessing it's Race, in Roadstar's old roadster?

Must have been in the early 90's when red wheels where cool

 

Wild guess, but it wouldn't be a kid named Chuck would it?

 

No, but thanks Larry, it that was me it would have to be a B&W photo... that's Rudy's first hi-boy..

Chuck,
Hadn't thought about that. I think my first one is a cave drawing some where.

HAHAHA that was before they called them RatRods

What a cool car and a cooler kid.

Wait till the guys at Streamline see this pic

Thanks Chuck.

 

I REALLY like that......

What are some of the details.....

 

Original 32 frame

31 body channeled in the front 1 1/2 inches and the subrails cut to follow the 32 frame kickup in the rear with 32 style wheel wells.

I also used the 32 gas tank, just because everyone told me I couldn't use it with the model A body.

The engine was a 322 that I rebuilt way before people thought they were so cool.

39 toploader

41 Merc rear end and brakes all around,

The stearing was a 40 box that I cut and Chuck helped by machining a new shaft and adapting to a 60 Chevy column with a 60 Impala stearing wheel.

It had 36 Ford guages in a 32 Dash.

50 Pontiac tail lites.

I can't think of anything else right now.

The car is still around, A guy in Mass ownes it now.

 

That was before Race had ink,or as Poncho used to call tattoos,Cartoons

Very cool Rudy. I always knew you were ahead of the curve
