jo_tas ·

VERY nice! First rat with shiney wheels i've seen!

byronbus ·

Been on hoodride, thinking i'll keep the oval and rat her or hoodride aus style...what you think timbo?

65busser ·

Now that's true Rat. Like the spare too. Looks like a Lemmerz 356 wheel? Exhaust tip is a great look. Whole thing is well done. Just love it. Congrats!!
(Nothing at all wrong with the Square either).

How's the bug drive?

Dannyboy ·

Have to agree. Obviously this is a touchy subject as to what is a true rat is. Alot of thought has to gone towards the underneath of the weathered body , sits right , looks the tits!.Topped off by the rims , perfection. Thats style and one of the best rats i ever seen. Nice one Frenzix!

Lams ·

akean1 ·

Looks Great Tim

Resto64 ·

sweet ride
sits nice to mate

frenzix ·

fankyou, yes thats a '59 356 rim

The muffler is a thunderbird hotdog along with kadron extractors.
I might lift her up at the front again cause after i put new shockies in i lowered her again. But it scrubs a bit on hard corners.

It rides incredibly well, not hard as i have new shocks in. Turning circle is a little bit worse, still dont have seatbelts or indicators though 😠

Thanks for the great comments dudes

Timmy

I always wondered what fully polished BRM's would look like.
Now I know.

pyr0 ·

ColumBUS ·

frenzix ·

VolksFolks ·

Andy

frenzix ·

welllllll because clear coat falls off on any type of rust.. it becomes useless so i give it a monthly dose of lanox/penotrol around edges it's very protected.

Timmy

VolksFolks ·

What is it?, where do i get it?,

Andy

byronbus ·

Lanolin, its the way of the future

VolksFolks ·

i thought it was latex?

byronbus ·

No Tim was wearing latex, the car is lanolin...he has some latex accessories

ruckus ·

mmmmm tres tasty!

Stanley ·

Now thats neat....keep ya eye on those wheels or some little ricer will pry them off.

Tim and i have started riding from clunes to lismore 3 days a week, thats why he's slimmer...and his frequent visits to boat harbour

Nice rat.. I saw it at the Nats.. Did you drive it or towed it from up north?

boersch ·

noiiiiice

frenzix ·

i don't tow things unless they are broke.. me drive it 800 kms to the show. Andy most auto stores keep lanox.. made of a mix of inox and lanolin.. not latex (except on my nipple tassles)

byronbus ·

hehe

BettyBoop ·

hey tim!

Love the way you've even got a 'V W' on the spare wheel in the rope ... V right way up and the W upside down underneath! TOP WORK... very creative! 😉
