DOZZER Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 how long are you expecting until ready to drive? Ideally I want to drive it to Good Guys but we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 When I was building the 27 roadster I joined a bunch of different sites related to these kind of projects. The hamb, killbillet and rat rods rule are the only ones that comes to mind. I will remember the other names later and post them. Be prepared if you join, there are alot of guys that will point out every mistake on your project. Some guys have turned rat rods into an art form and dont care about what the term actually means.

Avenger1647545502 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I had an 84 or 85 Rabbit with the N/A diesel...that thing was a TURD for acceleration. If you go over 2,000 pounds for the whole rig, you BETTER go turbo. Mine was right around 2,000 with me in it, and 0-60 took longer than most onramps. Great mileage though!

lag wagon Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 2,000 pounds for the whole rig That's pretty much what I'm wondering.. guess it is possible though That 14BFF axle itself is like 500 pounds Granted they can be pretty light with a disc swap & the right wheels.
