Cool car, it's got to be ungodly slow though. I had a '51 Dodge with a flathead six and a Gyromatic transmission, much smaller than the car you posted and mine could barely get out of it's own way.

I suppose though, with a car that looks like that you aren't going for speed.

I hate how far the US bumpers stick out from the body. Smooth, stubnose is better IMO.

They look like the F2 flares on stock bumpers.

Tye ferd with the twin turbo greasle is nice. I saw alot of turbo diesel put in some nice rods and a few stewpid rhat rohds at the car show today..fuckin stewpid rat.rods , im gonna make my car look like a skull with a penis on its fore head and my engine looks like a trantula...any way the bottom picture there is something off about the Z job and frame length vs cab length vs roof hight.

DEFINITION: Rat Rod - A hot rod that the owner either a) didn't know how to properly complete, or b) didn't have the $$ to finish.
