Great idea Ron!! If I would have thought a little more about it. I would of cut out Tennessee where I live, and cut the surrounding states, then weld it up and paint it like a map. Another project for another day.
I've thought about a pair of fenders for a 31 Ford 2many, might be something I do later down the road when I'm able to make a grill that is rounder. For now I'm just gonna get a couple trailer fenders, might do a little trimming to make them look right, then mount them to the spindles.
Made a couple of swoop pieces today for where the hood transitions into the frame rails up top. I think it looks much better. I need to get another sheet of steel and make a couple thin peices for the side. Im also gonna get a couple HHR fenders, and cut the back 8 inches or so, where it will meet up to my doors. Then I can bend the sheetmetal into a peice of flat stock to cut down on wind noise. One project at a time.
This is how I plan on doing my fenders. Only thing i'll do different is use fenders with the steel back. Im thinking that will help keep water from spraying, and help keep rocks and road debris from flying too bad.
Been peicing together some exhaust. Found a few peices of pipe out back here in the boneyard. Making sure the Rat has good street cred turning out pretty cool looking. I've got to figure out my muffler mounts and heat shields, then I can mount the muffler and get everything connected. Can' wait to hear these 2 chambers!
Got the exhaust all welded up and bolted up to the muffler. Still need a couple feet of straight pipe on each side and a turn down, but i got the difficult part out of the way. I love the way it sounds.
Took it for a short spin. Shifts and drives great, no vibrations or anything weird in the steering or brakes. Cant wait to get my tags!! Shouldnt be long.
