Full Version: Rat Porsche
QUOTE(Mueller @ Jun 5 2016, 06:00 PM) 
Had a thought which to me would be very cool and Rat Roddish....
Steel GT flares TIG welded on, but do not grind or cover up the welds, just light coat of paint so welds are visible yet protected.
I found a nice-ish yellow one that needs a paint job, I'm thinking that since its a one color car, just knocking down/wet sand w really fine sand-paper. Then spray out with clear to protect area that have exposed metal. That would be a patina rat look. I'd weld in flares n grind out n clear coat. I'm looking for a picture I have of a 356 that has new fenders/wheel openings tacked in n ground smooth & in bare metal. The fit-up is exquisite and really cool looking. Tig welds would look pretty awesome in clear coat.

That's a 914 gasser - looks like about 1967!
I didn't know Stone, Woods, and Cook ran a teener!

Pretty distinctive use of a donor car...
That'd be a donor *truck*. With donor body panels.

Junk yard dog watching over Papa's Hot rod , perfect!
I wonder how it would do up against Roadkill's "BLASPHEMI"?

Came across this example in my travels over the weekend. More gasser than rat.

I remembered seeing the google van, and checked every now and then to see if I was on there.
It also caught me at lunch on another day, after I changed the trunk lid.
