Ok.... You may have gathered that im not from around here... Living in deepest, darkest africa, we rarely see the cars you guys drive and the Hot Rod scene is definately a bit smaller than it is over there. So, Ill ask you to forgive me if i say and do stupid things and to not brand me as a Heretic because im not all that clued up on the Hot Rod scene. My dose of Rods and ideas comes from the many excellent shows on TV. So, I built the Ford Speedwagon, Im busy building a Mustang Trans Am Series racer and now I think its about time to build some customs... On the list so far is... -'49 Mercury:chopped and shaved because its just sex on wheels - Rat Rod: because they are the coolest thing I have ever seen - Then get myself some old pick ups and have a play around. Then sometimes, late at night I have some rather silly ideas.... - Cord 812: I want to make a Cord Hot Rod, because its so rare, no one would ever chop one up (I think). - Bugatti Royale Victoria Rat Rod... Yes, I really want to.... (google a pic ) So, bear with me, should be a laugh Steve

Heresy, heresy! He's a heretic, off with his head, burn him, burn him! Seriously though, I don't think it will get to that, at least not the burning part. You have a great list of "to do" subjects and I couldn't agree with you more about the Mercury. I also think your ideas with the Cord and Bugatti are excellent.

You might be a little crazy, but that's what builds cool cars. Here's some motivation for ya, its a fiberglass Fiat rat rod with a 406 SBC for motive power. Untitled by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr Untitled by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr Definitely share a build thread when you get started!

Ha ha Skip I remember years ago seeing a mag article called Heresy Rods, that had 10 of the rarest cars photoshopped into Hot Rods, and the Cord was one of them. I think one of the others was a big Duizenberg that was chopped and about half a mile long.... Steve
