Another Punk Kid from Texas with a Real Car

[rat_rod_russell]

Hello all
I’m Russell a long time lurker and now that I’m getting farther along with my project I feel like it belongs here. I have a 57 Chevy 150 Sedan. Right now I’d say it more of a pro-touring car than a street fighter. For the most part the budget of a 22 year old kid is downright sad so I’ve had to make sacrifices. On the up side My family has a hot rod shop here in Texas. We’ve been doing C4 corvette suspensions swaps on TriFive’s via a new frame and a few C5 swaps as well.

One quick note the rat rod name came as a joke from my buddy because every car I’ve had has been anything but a rat rod. LS motors and Aluminum suspensions is where it’s at in my mind. So it’s an oxymoron of all things.

I’ll be starting a thread later for my 57 Black Widow 2.0 but here’s a quick pic.











Thanks
Russell
