My dog ate a Hot Wheels and crapped this out

Oh fuck,rat rod
Can you spot all the horrible-ness that is in this picture?

The front sleeved hole is one of my favorite features...cus it's soo pretty
or maybe it's the 3/8 plate cross member that hangs down lower then the frame rails?
Nope it is how the 6" tall rails tie into the 3" main rails..





I don't normally try to bash anyone on my blog.Notice I didn't mention a name?
But I get asked "can you build one like this" and they think that is cool stuff.
If I stabbed my eyes out with a rusty screwdriver and was drunk and underwater
ahh never mind.
But guys read some other magazines besides "Crap Rods" and ugly Bettie's
The Ford I-beam axle front end is a thing of beauty and grace.
But there is engineering going on there,follow the basic design principles
and you will have a good handling safe fun hot rod to drive.

 

Have a look at this rear "suspension"

the lower bars are welded to the rear end !

(I won't mention the entire fuel line is rubber hose) oops

This thing can't even say articulate

I'd like to see it drive up a driveway at a angle

(I have seen it stuck on a parking lot crown)

If it wasn't for the rubber bushings in the coil over ends

it couldn't even move.

At least the pinion angle changes a lot ..gawd.
