S800 Rat Rod: Complete (#7 for 2019)

Calling this one done. The scratch built bodywork mimics typical rat rod 'who cares' approaches; the rest of it is scrounged from the parts bin.



The straight 8, of 1.6 litres displacement and making 140 hp, justifies dual rear wheels, maybe. In any case it looks cool.



The headlights are pretty exposed, and I suppose some kind of nerf bar wouldn't be a bad idea. However I think I'll pass.



Taillights are lovely bullet items mounted on the roll bars.



The exhaust involved some fabrication with brass tube.



Overall I'm happy with this one.



Time for a drive!



What's next? Who knows! Stay tuned!
