DIY CAR

I was in a grocery store parking lot a week or so ago and heard a very loud vehicle.

This is what it turned out to be.


It appeared to be a Do It Yourself vehicle.

The driver got out and went around to the passenger side to open the rusty door for his companion.

It took quite a tug to get it open.

The "car" looked even more unique from the rear.


A pretty strange creation.

  2. Like the dual 4bbl's too. The gas tank almost looks like a propane, could it have been modified to run on that?

    1. I didn't talk to the driver so I don't know but I was kind of wondering that too. Maybe you should ask Bill (above).

  5. Rat Rods are a thing, looked like they are tossed together, but they are pretty well designed and engineered. I talked to a guy with an ancient Chevy pickup, a 39. It was sitting on a Chevy S10 frame, had a LS1 V8, tremec 6 speed, rusty, faded paint, no bed in the back only a box. He said it drove like a new car.

  7. I am fortunate to have several car "freaks" who read this blog regularly. They have enlightened me to the term "rat rod". Who-da thunk it?
