Wondering if anyone has seen this done yet or attemted?

I am pretty serious about starting this project, and was thinking just how badass this would/could be..

Imagine, a nice rusty chopped/channeled 32ish-35ish 5 window, slammed to the ground, with some nice skinny white walls all around with wire wheels, rusted looking carbed 6.0 with a couple of rusty looking twins with headlights mounted in/or untop of twins hanging off the side of the motor, 6 speed tranny and can pretty much fry the tires at any speed. To me, the just sounds fun building and driving. I know it would be a ton of work and would probably take a year to build it, but I am willing to fab something together. what do ya'll think?

I WILL build a rat rod...and I will call it a "rat rod" not a "hot rod in progress" like some diehard elitist douchers claim (Burbank Choppers) and I will put billet parts on it just b/c i can and it will have a blow thru carb.

I don't know about the intentionally making it rusty but a TT LSX in something that light would be a rolling casket and a ball lol

Skinny tires??? Like bias-plys??? You don't need any more than a stock 6.0L to make that ride a scary "tire fryer".

I was thinking about building a sleeper/erat rod style truck myself lately. I have a 6.0 and was thinking just a single turbo but duels would be pretty cool. I wouldn't mind seeing another unquie project around here either

maybe some skinneys up front would be cool, but you need the cheater slicks out back.

Thanks for the input. Just trying to sketch up my build. I want it NASTY looking, extremely low, chopped and channeled low, only front glass. Maybe even a 32-34 truck chopped and channeled.

We'll see what I eventually come up with..

That was actually my plan with the '36 (except on the LC2 motor). Twins were more for visual impact than performance (over 1 large turbo).

The problem that all my designs had though was there was no way to get filtered air to the turbos without exposed filters (which ruined the effect IMO). I even considered using the headlight buckets as the air intakes (and putting some other headlights behind the grille or something).

I'm sure it could be done, I just couldn't come up with a layout that I liked.

My car will eventually be too "finished" to be a "rat rod" so that played into it as well.

We have started a project like that with a 32 chevy 5 window.
