Board track rat rod

What can I say, I like old dirty ratty cars and bikes. Since I can't really afford to build a rat rod car, I'll do a bike. Started with an AMF nimble and started to cut and weld. I also made use of some parts that I had laying around the garage.

Got it looking correct patina and a motor just for mock up right now.

Awesome...!!
Haven't finished my current build but already thinking about the next. Can get my hands on a pipe bender too

It's looking really great! What in the world did you build that gas tank from? - Maybe some old valve covers?

That tank is made from a pair of Ford 2.9 valve covers. I have access to an electric pipe bender at work, was pretty cool, all I did was push a button and check the angle. Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone!

Very inspiring

This is as together as the bike has been so far. Still some stuff to work out but it is coming along.

Aw man I really wish that motor was going to be lower in that frame, you need to stick something cool looking down there
