Yeah, both are cool. The Arrow may be better for a rat rod. The Airflow begs to be all slicked back and shiny!

Iβm kinda liking the blunt nosed Arrow
Yes, eventually. I would love to find an original to pull molds from.
New direction.
I tried a set of Felt wheels but the rear tire was too fat to fit under the fender. So I tried it sans fenders and really liked it. It now has a brat style vibe!
It's subtle, but I repositioned the rack closer to the tire and more in line with the rear end of the tank to take up the space of the lost fender. I also found a fork that is shorter than the Shelby so that the tire is pushed up where the front fender would've been. I love how it sits under the tank!
The black wheels and frame work perfectly with the black gel coated glass parts which will save me some critical time not having to paint them. Plus the black motif further reinforces the Brat style! Win Win
TRM-Speedline-RAT is now the TRM-Speedline-BRAT!

Brat style? This is brat style where I come from......
Smoked Elk and Duck brats with special sauce, sauteed grilled onions, and other goodies!

The new stance and the shape of the tank looks like a weiner to me.
Itβs downright sinister looking dude!
I LOVE IT!
Build on!

I love stopping at Pedro's
I used to drive I-95 when I lived in North Carolina and always loved all of those billboards! There were A LOT of them. I have stopped at Pedro's but the signs where just as much fun on the long drive from Alabama! Thanks for posting that, I haven't thought about it in years!
We just drove home to PA from Florida up I-95 a couple months ago. My only request for the whole trip was that we stop at Pedro's. It was as wonderful and as awful as ever.I used to drive I-95 when I lived in North Carolina and always loved all of those billboards! There were A LOT of them.

Wonderfully awful
I like the style of the new direction! Those wheels look familiar too

Love the wheel set!Ditto! It depends on what part of the day you ask.
I really like the Airflow tank for the Brat but I might have to change over to an Arrow tank.
What do y'all think?

The Arrow tank makes it look like it's launching out of the hole, the Airflow tank makes it look like it's up to speed and going through the traps at the big end. I like the hole shot look.
