Rat Rod

Hey guys, I am usually in the 67-72 forums, but thought you guys might want to see this....

So my brother wanted to build a rat rod and found a 1930 Model A Sedan body and a frame (2 different sources) to use for the build. From the beginning he wanted it to be diesel powered, so we started the hunt for a suitable engine, well that was harder than we thought. Eventually he stumbled across a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190D sedan for $500 (complete running/driving car) and it was on...

Grille Shell


Mock up of the front axle, which be narrowed because it was taken out of his 54' F100 (which got a Mustang II front end)


Custom rear frame rails to use M/B IRS

Mock-Up...




Completed..




More to come....
