r/RatRod

This wild rat rod was at a local car show i attended.

I added extra lights to the back so that I can show people in turning and because the car is low it's also better visibility and I also added indicator repeater lamps to the side of the headlight bucket, just got to tidy the wires up and tuck them away safe

The ol Hillbilly cops would have fun chasing this down a country road

When i got the second hand engine, it came from an chevy pickup, when I placed it in the minx, I didnt realise how close the oil pan was to the floor, turns out it had an extended sump, so I was like, well this isn't good for our shitty British roads with all the pot holes and speed bumps, so I did some research and managed to find a sump low profile and suitable for a high flow oil pump and it worked nicely even more so when I upgraded the front suspension to adjustable coilovers #theminxproject

Nothing like a nice flat head, simplicity is never overrated
