Rat Country Buggy - KO752

So last weekend my buddy Jase and I were talking how we really missed the Uber rat at the show's this season,

So we had this hair brained idea to get something happening for yesterday(Our Easter show).

As some of you know I built a rat CB back in 2005......


What most people don't know was there was another, much rattier CB (KO752) That Dad and I owned at the same time. It has been dragged through a few house moves and was happily out to pasture in Dad's yard, until last Saturday that is, hahaha.

As it was only a body we needed a pan too, so Dad donated the pan from under a half built choptop that he recently found......


We threw in a spare long axle box, got the body on and took it around to HQ............


The Pan as of Sunday............


The Pan as of Tuesday, 6in narrowed beam, notched spring plates lowered 3 splines, 17in Escras............


Engine in.......


And Body half on Thursday..........


And Thursday arvo we're done..............




2Dots ignition panel.............


All loaded up and ready for the show......


A few pics from the show yesterday...........







And parked up with my mate's CB KO377........



By far the best original un-restored CB I've ever seen...........





Huge Thanks to Jase, Dad, 2dots, Brodie and all the other Bendigo Squadron boys 😀

you're just jealous 'cause the front and back of this one are joined by metal and it hasn't been run over by a tractor 😁

Damn you. As if your old one wasnt cool enough, you have to go and make me double jealous with this one!! Any more plans for it??

Sweet.....love it!

Thanks for the positive comments boys!

Exept for NUG637, you sir have the face of a jerk.

he's got the palms of a jerker too.

It's not a Thing, it's a country buggy..... Bahahaha :P

I love this Country Buggy!! It is sweet 😎

Thanks Rusty,

Was good to catch up with you and your old man, I hope you guys enjoyed the weekend 🙂

Last weekend The Federation of Motoring clubs held their Annual picnic out at Marong, I thought it would be cool to drag this out there. So we lifted it up a whisker to make it a bit more drivable and through on some 17in BRMs (thanks Fingers)...........




(thanks Dino for the pics)

It caused a bit of a stir, it was funny listening to all the "experts" telling their mates all about it 😂

Wicked !

Chop!

I love it

hot.friggin hot.love it.
put on the chromie's for the homies bro.

makes me want to built another shitter

^^^ Yes Brad, Junka is Waaaay too pretty

CB is wiked as. 👍👍👍

Couldn't believe this thing was all the way back on page 4, poor excuse for a shelf really.....

After a long hibernation we thought we might as well throw a donk in the CB and take it along to the Jamboree.



Big thanks to all the Bendigo squadron, couldn't have got it there with out you guys!
Few pics from Sunday, even took home some silverware......
