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

byronbus - March 29th, 2005 at 11:20 PM

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

65busser - March 29th, 2005 at 11:23 PM

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?

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!

Looks Great Tim

Resto64 - March 30th, 2005 at 07:23 AM

sweet ride
sits nice to mate

frenzix - March 30th, 2005 at 07:33 AM

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 :mad:

Thanks for the great comments dudes

Andy

frenzix - March 30th, 2005 at 11:19 AM

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 - March 30th, 2005 at 11:27 AM

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

Andy

byronbus - March 30th, 2005 at 11:28 AM

VolksFolks - March 30th, 2005 at 11:30 AM
