70_Fastback: RAT ROD - 193x Ford / 1942 GMC Truck

That looks real good. I am curious though, just how much did that actually lighten the frame? Did you compare weights of the tubing vs the cutouts?

 

[70_Fastback]

I'm guessing it's more of a descriptive term than factual...

I have always looked at them in other vehicles too. Some are lightening, some are not......it does look cool though.

 

[70_Fastback]

That's the only reason that I did it. The "cool" factor...

 

[Fast68back]

Awesome welds J, who did them?

 

[70_Fastback]

Bonnie.


Ya schmuck. :rp

 

[BobV]

That's why you're keeping her around!!!

Any woman who can weld like that = HAWT! :10 :nta

 

[70_Fastback]

Yep.

 

[Midlife]

I'll bet Bonnie's also great with a grinder!

There is the DOM that we all know and love.

Looking great J! Welds look almost robotic! The "lightening" holes although actually probably adding weight look really cool. You really make the most of your weekends!

 

[70_Fastback]

Thanks Ryan. But I didn't get to mow this weekend... :shy


















it was raining! :nk

 

[RyanG85]

Ha, Got my mowing done in the dark friday night and beat the rain! This weekend I manages to get part way through designing and building a shaker base for my 69 and went to an all ford show on sunday so dont be so cocky! :nk

 

[70_Fastback]

Cool! I'd like to see the shaker base.

I think this project needs to be renamed the "Flash as a rat with a gold tooth Rod" as that is top work.
Here is your badge of honour

 

[RyanG85]

Will be making a post soon...

 

[70_Fastback]

Cool

Looking nice J, 'nuther couple months and you'll have her on the road.

There was nothing DOM about that...get your mind out of the gutter!
