Sweeeeet!
Is that an old Ala Kart kit?
Not to sound like a know-it-all but, rat rods aren't only black or grey. You can do any color as long as it's "suede" (low gloss or flat).

You need to find or build a beer keg for the back as a fuel tank.

Thanks, hey I need some advice, I just found these black bucket seats with seat belts already molded on them in my junk box, so which sould I go with, the original white ones, or the black ones?  Hosted on Fotki |

Go with the black seats.
They fit the rat rod theme much better. Rat rods are generally built with traditional hot rodding in mind, so anything on the car should not be "blatant" post 1965, which the white Recaro style seat screams "too contemporary".
Just advice from someone who has been there and wrecked that.
