I've got a dream: BMW powered RatRod/T-bucket

[Mykk]

Reproduction '32 Ford grill, cheaply made but not so cheap to purchase. But I can now guilt free cut it up to work in the application.

Oh, yes.

[Fruttolo]

Wow!

Will it be flat low like in this mockup or old school raked?

Unfortunately no. As you can see the body is un-channeled, intentionally as I'm a big guy and need as much foot space as possible. I was heavily considering a double Z'd frame but that too would just bring the drivetrain further up into the body. I'll put it together using a traditional T straight frame with kicked up rear for the diff. I'd like the rear ride height so the axles are straight. I fear any lower would point the axles upwards at the wheels and look ridiculous and rake down a couple of inch's to the front, not anything drastic like the fad T's of the 80's

Cleaning up the rear end. A couple of cans of degreaser, a pressure washer and a couple hours with a wire wheel it wasn't perfect but acceptable enough for paint.

What a wheel/tyre combo *_*

[Mykk]

Thank you, admittedly the tire is wide for the wheel. A 12" wide wheel would have been a better choice, but I'll run what I've got for now

Looks great. Speedway is a good company and make excellent steel wheels also, not sure what pattern you have but they can easily be redrilled. Would be cool to have a set of 12wides just to mess with, cheap too

[BlueSapphireTribe]

What a build... Sheesh.

[fackinsteve]

I love where this is headed.

Small wheels and tyres I see
