I like how clean looking it is, a lot more old school hot rod than rat rod.

I love the matte black paint, the current rat rods are more of a bunch of crap thrown together with trying to be outrageous.

Agree with the old school hotrod look, not so much with the rat rod look. I hate the rat rod fad

How bad is it driving around with just open headers or are there mufflers built into them?

as long as you keep your foot out of it , it's really not bad at all
at 45-60 mph on the hiway the noise tones way down to a real nice sound .
at cruzin speed 15-40 it just a little loud ..

at stompin the foot pedal the bitch roars on top end . i live 6 miles out of town and
ive been told they can hear me comming though

i started to cut about 5 inches out of the tubes but after running them
i like them just the way they are , i do carry a 4 inch baffle to slip in if the Police
ever want me to tone it down but so far i havent had to use them .

A rusty master cylinder does not make a Rat Rod.

That's just an unpainted Streetrod! Looks like a hell of a lot of fun!

EDIT: Jesus man! Put a damned rubber grommet around those wires going through that hole in the firewall. It will be a burned and rusty rat rod soon!

I had a clear plastic under the wires , you just couldn't see it ..
anyway each terminal is ran through a fuse box so if any mishaps it would of just blown
a fuse , I even have the 12 ga wire ran to the + side of the coil ran through a toggle and a fuse . the hole in the firewall was in the middle of being addressed as well .

kinda surprised no body made any comments on the 308 rounds on top of the breathers ..

Holy shit! A waterneck to route the wires. That's awesome!

You know that's not what that was made for, right??

that was the old one when i took off the high rise
it looked like it was pot metal and the chrome was pitted and flacking , so i bought a new one , then i got the idea to use it as a cover , so i thought i would buff it out on the buffer and shoot it flat black , turns out it's SS and buffed out to a high shine .
