It is difficult to build a hot rod that stands out and is unique. It seems that everything has been done before. This car was a fun exercise with a focus to reintroduce a car that is both affordable and unique.
This car that you see was built for approximately $10,000 in parts. With an average street rod in the $30-50k range, this car opens up a lot of possibilities to those who cannot, or prefer not to, spend that kind of money.
I can see the car built in a Dry Lakes style or Nostalgic
style, as the one pictured. What about a 4 banger or a Quad-4 Olds
in a High Tech style? Maybe a transverse 4 from a smaller front
wheel drive car, in the rear? There are many possibilities at a
very affordable price!
The frame is built from .134" thick laser cut steel - same as the full size cars; fully boxed with front rear spreader bars and center K member. K member has a drop out section for rear transmount.
Body comes with double skinned deck lid that is hinged.

'70's Nissan pick-up rear ends (which we used) are readily available in any wrecking yard in our area for about $75. This rear axle is right width without modification.
