1938 Ford rat rod build

Nice, then you should really consider wider tires.

[Barry]

Yes. We'll be fitting wider wheels on the back and possibly skinnier wheels on the front. No power steering.

What about an lsd? Maybe something out of a mustang.

[Barry]

The old mustangs were all open differentials as far as I know. The stingray rear end will be able to hold a lot of torque so it will probably be staying there. Ideally, LSD, wheelie bars and a parachute would be cool but cost is the issue.

@treks I hope the hidden red earth lead meets with your satisfaction 😉

 

[treks]

It's better now, but I still see a bit of red showing.   

[Barry]

I guess I better get my sharpie out and colour in the exposed bit 😂

@Barry What's the progress dude?

[Barry]

Waiting for parts. Which suits me because I'm too busy with work at the minute.

Ok so it’s been a while since I updated this. The project isn’t over yet.

The original funder lost his job and ran out of money so the project was shelved. 

A new funder is on board so the build will start again soon. We have a huge turbo diesel Cummins engine just sitting there on the shelf doing nothing so expect the 351 to get junked and a huge high torque motor capable of rolling coal to be installed. 

Lets see what happens. I can promise you it will be epic.
