Rat Rod pickup... but pedal powered!!!

that VW makes me cry.

why are you waiting on chinese fittings? parker stores carry everything you could want as do many other rod and minitruck websites.

As I live in a small (80k pop) city I aways try to buy local first and then use ebay as a backup plan. Items ordered from China usually arrive here before the US ones, go figure. Besides, these guys are likely the original maufacturer :roll:

I hope my buggy makes you cry in a good way. Looking forward to getting back to work on it this winter after finishing the fab on the bike.

Wow, that's the lowest rad rod style bug I've seen yet. The only thing I can say in my defense is: at least mine is street legal. :mrgreen:

If I put lights on it I'd drive it anyway. Just mount a bumper and lights at the required heights and run with it. Bet it'd be a blast to drive too.

required height would put them at visual obstruction height. :mrgreen: :lol:

good point, maybe just a safety flag....but then it'd look too much like an RC

FINALLY i have a garage to work in again Now the trike will be "going under the knife". I'm trying to get a pair of used racing slicks from a race car to use on the rear I know, i know... it will be heavy, but it's going to look awsome!!! (I'll gear it REALLY low for her).
