The original "Big" boy

The Man, the Myth, the legend! I've got a signed photo in a frame with John Le Math:s signature - "John Milner" in the movie, in original. Great Scott! Got to be worth a fortune.

Behind the dash

The instrument panel are mounted with two clamps, also a glass front are glued in place now. Looks neat -right?

Dash new look, instrument!

I've mounted a old Opel instrument panel in the Rat Rod. Looks pretty neat, I think. The rod are moving a little forward slowly.

Rear axle suspension - start to mount it!

Today, the parcel came from U.S. -finally.There were a complete kit for the rear axle
Look really neat. Hope I choosed the correct spring, I mean the weight are importent.
Well I will see that later - right!

Get seated

Tonight I have made first trial mount of body on the frame and also adjusted the rear seat that i bought in a add on the net. Look really neat, don't you think so?

The rear axle

I'm gonna use cheap part for this build, the picture shows the rearaxle - from a Volvo 240 series. The idea are that this car are basic, meaning simple as hell. Only the part needed for driving, and of course safety and last the traffic rules we have in sweden. I 'm talking about lights, turn signals, reflex but - nothing else.

A engine gets a new home

A Rover V8 aluminium engine with auto tranny are the source
in my Rat Rod build.The engine are all in aluminium so itś really light.
