Re: Future Rat

This is a fun build with some cool skillzzz.

thanks for the props. I have been pondering a different name. Its not as rat as i originally planned, but still futuristic. It has lots of jag parts and a couple ranger rover parts....

finished the headlight mount and added some green highlights.

I couldn't wait to assemble the hole unit.

cut out the chainguard and tacked it together. I had just enough of that jaguar door skin to do it.

and here are the tins i cut from the rover hood. A little more attention to them and they wil be done.

I would love to see the look on the owners faces of that Rover and Jag when they see their rides!! :lol: teasing!! Love it!

 

[ruddigger]

[Xcruiser]

[killingevilnine]

The Shocker! :shock:

Love that fork, should have a light inside of it. 8)

so the frame mock up has been completed and its now time to strip it and scuff it for a brushed aluminum look.

I changed some hinges on range rover discovery the other day. I took the old hinge and cut it up welded on a few accent pieces drilled and tapped a few holes.
What purpose do they hold??????

Good looking nekkid rat!

What a weekend. Got a lot of parts painted and ready for assembly. Down here in south florida we are getting our yearly douching courtesy of tropical storm debbie. It was a nice break from the heat.

heer are several pics from the weekend.
I got all my holes drilled for the tins to be mounted.

got the wheels painted and tires mounted.

had a brand new xf jag come in with a frontend hit the other. this emblem had a unnoticable scratch on it so the customer got a new one and i got this one. I took it apart a repainted the background and there you have it. just got a figure out a place for it.

here is the rear fender. the mounting bracket is handle from a cabinet i found in the trash a few years ago.

I like the green with this build!!
Lot of cool stuff going on with this wicked build!

well well well its been a real busy week between work, drumming in a band and buildingthis bike. I havn't had the time to post. Here comes a blitz of pics from the past week. I started by finishing the tins and riveting one in place. I then made brackets to hang taillight / battery case.

I mounted the jag emblem on the front door of the canister so that it would double as a handle to access the battery.

 

[killingevilnine]

so a put chain on and rolled it outside to get a look at it with these bars on it.

but then i thought about these bars. they are from a privious build. the bullets really set them apart from others i have.

I was about to rivet on the other tin but then decided to add some l.e.d. light bars a snagged from a range rover taillight that was smasshed up in a crash. I tuzipped tied the m together and to the bike itself was a quick easy addition and looks f-n sweet!

here is a view from the side with tin installed already.

This is a cool build man!!!
Love that green!

 

[killingevilnine]

so i added a leeper to the inside of the sprocket. Its totally hidden like.

.... shot!!!!

I started the wiring for the led taillight, led underbody lights and the headlight. the headlight looks neat sittin on there. I will mount it tomorrow once it is wired so i can aim the headlamp before its bolted down forever! I also added a jag emblem to the one tin.

 

[kingfish254]

Man, those extended drops are insane!!!
It's really starting to come together!!
