This build was my first attempt at building a Rat Rod. For this build I used this kit:

I build this kit once before as a pickup version of Tom Daniel's Badman. I had screwed up the bed and had to get another kit to finish it. So I had this Cameo kit with no bed. It was the perfect candidate for a rat rod and the vision/ direction was born

Rat rods are a lot of work when it comes to the modifications. In this one we Z channeled the frame, lowered the suspension, custom V8 engine with custom exhaust that exits out the front fenders, chopped top, custom worn out interior, with a license plate montage on the roof, a road sign used as a floor patch and lots and lots of weathering.
