hey skillet....have fun building your first rat bike!
It looks like that corvette is a g00d canidate for ratting ...now if you can somehow incorporate that beer keg shown in the pic into your rat; that would be K00L.

yea that keg is actually going to be the gas tank on my brother in law's pick up. i was thinking of making a trailer out of a keg. lay it down on it's side and cuttin out the top side. may be a little to heavy though.

update on corvette rat
fenders and chain gaurd are gettin painted soon

 

[Hooch]

looking great!

:mrgreen: K00L! Try mounting the gaurd before you paint it, I think it has a nice patina as is. It may not match your color scheme but it sure would give it a junk yard dog look.

Are those the same wheels in the before and after shots? If so you got those baby's klean.

You are gonna love that seat too dude. I have one on my 81 DeLuxe Cruiser, its one of the most comfy I have! :mrgreen:

not the same wheels. the front one was damaged beyond repair so i went ahead and got 2 new ones.
