I'm actually building a Rat Rod

I vowed I never would. But I've decided that I need to have one in my collection. It won't be a regular occurrence. But they have been a staple at pretty much every show I've been to for the past 15 years so I needed to have that represented in my collection.

AMT chassis and eventually engine. Body is Jimmy Flintstone resin. Wheels and tires are Zman aftermarket. Seats are heavily cut down custom parts from the AMT 1979 Pinto wagon I finished a few days ago. Interior floor, firewall, rear suspension is all scratchbuilt. It is coming along really well. I messed up when I was taking out the molded in firewall with my razor saw so I have to fix that before I can proceed. But I've already begun the fix. (visible in the photo).

It's been a lot of fun.
