Just getting into the hobby and this is my first purchase. I really like the rat rod and muscle bikes! Any ideas on what make and model it might be? I can add more info and more pics tonight after i pick her up.
Picking this up tonight!

Nice find! Keep the progress on your build posted.
Sorry I've even busy and haven't had a chance to post more pics. I do have a question though. It seems that there is no brake. It's been a while since I've ridden a bike like this, but isn't it supposed to brake when you push the pedal backwards? It seems to just free spin and never catch...... is this normal?
By your pics I can't tell if your rear hub is equipped with a coaster break or not. It's most likely freewheel. The wheels look aftermarket and definitely not the stock wheels it came with. You can add some breaks if the frame and/or forks allow.
Agreed, that's probably a freewheel wheel, which required caliper brakes.
What are you plans for it? Restoring it will take some cash, but the parts aren't real hard to find if you know where to look. Or if you are going to keep it ratty, then just find a coaster wheel for the rear and do what you like with it.
