its got potnetil, just needs screwing together a bit better. i don't like cars where you can see floor from the drivers seat.
the bit about the jago geep chassis is a blatant lie though, as they're mac strut at the front. just sounds like a greative attempt as sidestepping DA LAW to me.

Lots to like, but lots I'd want to change. Not the face though, that's spot on.

Needs "finishing off" IMO but that's got lots of potential.

I think its on a Jago Pop/Rod chassis rather than a Jago Jeep Chassis?
Either way I like it!

Lots of potential, I think. but I'd have to change the bonnet mascott the other way 'round and the steering wheel/dash totally. not that I have the money. or the time.

Its a shame how saying "Its a rat rod" excuses you from quality. I love it and once finished would be a very cool daily. Wrong engine too it needs one of these...  |

I like it. Not exactly how I would have it. Abit too much tat hangin' off it. But still cool..  |

Is it me? Or does it give the impression of trying too hard to be a rat rod by just adding any old bits of tat from Steptoes yard to what could have been a handsome beast if it had been built rather than chucked together? The advert doesn't help, a holey (leaky?) carb and Edelbroke (as in snapped?) cam. Period style interior, ie some random dash inverted so the radio slot is in front of the driver, chequerplate floor with road viewing gaps. Shame really as it has so much potential. I know this sounds negative but I really like it's concept and stance, but not how its been executed.

Thinking about it, I think its only the front bumper that looks wrong. If it had a simple rusty chrome bumper (middle bit of a minor front bumper?), it would look so much nicer.

I think that was built by the same bloke that built that LS1 powered austin/morris thing that killed everything at the Hayride drags last year. Not my cuppa tea, looked dog ruff but apparently runs 9's.
