My Little "Rat Hot"

[BodyCount]

Just a simple picture, but only to show to you the detail of the welding. This is the front suspension support.

After a long long long time without updates (to much work and no money ). Only finished the front suspension and put the rear axle in the place.

I really like the shape of that bed from the back.Great to see some progress some take many years before they even drive them.

It may take awhile, but I'm sure the result will be one cool car! I really dig those tall bias-plies on the back!

Hi Zack.

This is from Curitiba-Brazil (where i live).

www.lakester.com.br // The guy who made bodies and the bed.

They have some really nice stuff. That 32 Ford pickup body is awesome!

Anybody can help me? Where i can find used gauges? Or somebody know if i can buy in USA and ship to Brazil.


Thanks!

 

[Zack]

I would keep an eye on Craigslist & Ebay. You might find some sellers who will ship to Brazil. I have been lucky i guess but i have had good luck using CL.

 

[BodyCount]

Thanks. Never hear about CL!!

It is a good resource but be real careful, there are alot of scammers out there just waiting to rip people off. Craigslist.com and look in the larger US cities for the best results. I usually look in Houston and Dallas Texas for my area.

Give us a break down on here exactly what your looking for and i will starting looking as well.

Here are a few examples after a couple searches: http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/pts/2768781413.html

Used set of vintage gauges. They are Stewart Warner gauges. One is an electric water temperature gauge and the other is a mechainical oil pressure gauge. They were both working when pulled. These would be great for any gasser, rat rod, or hot rod. I am asking $30.00. Please call Jim at 303-856-4964. Thank you.

Front brake disk.

 

[RWENUTS]

Like your build. Front spring looks a bit over the top. Might be too stiff. Here's a better way to search craig's list.

The front discs aren't installed yet. Maybe more few days!

Not a upgrade, just a gift from my family to me:
