Fu#kin' A

Got a 31' model A sedan in the shop right now, it belongs to Shawn Arcidino from Kansas City. I built a full frame for it with lazer cut front rails that are stretched 12'' and meant to look mandrel bent. The backhalf is an air storage tank that holds 3.75gal. Were using a 54 Oldsmobile rocket motor (heavy as hell), a ford 9'' rearend, triangulated 4 link, 34 ford front axle, massey-ferguson tractor grill, and shawn has already chopped the top 6''.
Started friday night with the framerails done and got the majority of the car built in 2 days.






The car will get a cantilever setup behind the axle with slam bags, wood floor, sprint car style steering, and a metal roof. Its being built with as many original parts as possible and in the end will just be a hotrod. Please do not call it a ratrod... i will stab you in the face with a soldering iron.

Thats what I am talking about....I'd give my bike and wagon for one of those bad boys to run around in.

wow is this the same shawn who built plain jane? hella nice job on the build so far

Indeed sir.

And wow thats 2 forums Derek has offered on haha. If you want i can find another one but the parts are gonna be hard to come by, shawn has been collecting parts for nearly a year on this.

now were speaking my language. just picked up a nailhead for my 29 for this winter.

i dig it

lookin good man.


thank you and thank sean for not making it a RAT...

Awesome man!!! no billet on that thing!

Sweet Rat Rod, Dude.

looking good, that looks like a nice little project

my question is , why are you putting so much time and effort in to a rat rod
