Show me your ratty hot rods!!!!
 

hey yall, i have a all original 70 chevy LWB, and i am wanting to follow a rat rod theme, right now its white with lots of patina, I plan on dropping it, and adding red steelies and more aggresive looking tires, so please, post your rat rod/ hot rod/ patina trucks, but please, if possible, include some information like drop, tire size, etc... stuff that i would need to know to "duplicate the look" lol thanks alot... heres my truck right now

DAMN that is SICKKK!!!!!! in a good way, lol and thats actually what i started calling my truck, after finding a HUGE litter of rats under the seat, and being attacked mercifulessly by them, haahaa, not fun! thanks for the pics, great inspiration!
also, what size tires are those? and drop?

Re: Show me your ratty hot rods!!!!
 

18.5's with about a 5/7 drop. It's the Wiki definition of a "turd in a punch bowl"!!!!

Grayharville,I`d start off with lowering it,4/6 or maybe 5 in the back,for an instant change in the direction you want.That`s the big one.You can always paint your wheels red for now.8" rallyes are pretty cheap to come by.But,any wheels will look good.Leave that body alone.:cool:
