i thought i would show you guys how my rat rod olds has progressed. before you send me hate mail because it has a small block chevy, hey, its a rat rod and thats me taking the easy way out. sorry, i like it. it gets lots of looks and we are having a ball with it. i love the olds body style! later guys.

 

Very cool!!
Gather some parts while you enjoy that thing, shine it up down the road, could be worth a few bucks. Best of luck with it.

 

Nice!

 

Cool! What wheels are those? What size?

 

my wheels are b&g rod works old school wheels. 17x8 on front, 18x8 on the rear..... thank you all for your positive comments.

 

Bowtie motor or not - one on the road is one less in the boneyard. Keep her alive man!

Great wheels too

 

Looks like a cool project

 

took it to a car show this weekend. havin fun with rusty junk!

 

Looks like you were in good company.

 

oh yea, people still dig it, rust and all!

 

Kartman, great car and thank you for saving my sanity - been looking for that kind of wheel for a while with no success. Any mods necessary or did they bolt on?

 

thanks michael, as far as the wheels, i am running all stock brakes, i lowered the car 3" in the front and 2" in the rear and i bolted the wheels right on , no mods at all and there are no rubs or any issues at all. i do get lots of compliments on them though.

 

Rusty?Maybe.Junk?No.And as far as the engine is concerned,it could have a Briggs and Stratton in it.As long as is goes down the road,who cares.I have a SBC in one of my olds,I get some crap from some people,but hey it's mine,it goes and it's MUCH easier to work on than the wife's 330 Olds,which still ain't right.

 

thank you ctsplicer, and michael, love your 55, looks awesome.

 

Good to hear on the wheels bolting on, thanks for the info and the compliment on the car!

 

more eye candy.
