Default My vette's little brother, watch the build.

Kinda off topic, but I am building a new car to sit along side the vette this year. I got kinda bored with normal stuff, so I thought a Rat rod might be fun. Don't get me wrong, my C5 is still my dream car. But I was pumped to have a car I would never have to wash!

Heres the link, what do you guys think?

Thats the same thing I thought, the best part is....it's only 3 Grand from start to finish. You could spend more, but then you will have a hot rod, not a rat rod. Basicly you find a bunch of parts, old rusty junk, and cut, grind, weld and bend in to a streetable car. Just meat and potatos, 4 wheels a motor and a seat.

I hope you guys injoy this build.

LOL yeah it's fun to build, but my wife is not to hip on a rusty car. So I will be keeping the vette to keep mama happy.

Well we sat down and had the talk about time lines. And as far as Donny thought we will be making it. Just as long as The DMV plays nice, I would hate to start driving this thing with no title....But I will, just for that show. Things should go fast after this weekend. We will have the motor and the rear end will get finished up too. So stay tuned for all that.

I will have a few pics of what happened this week on the car, but for now I thought I would share a pic of my daily driver.
