Default Would you drive this?

This is a car that my dad built from scratch, just a little project, its a "RAT ROD", just about everything is unique. It has a 4.3 v6 i believe, and it will fly down the road and its very low, tagged and registered. Pretty quick for what it is. Gas tank is a red air compressor tank that was modified, on the back.

Nice little ride! There is one here in town, an older guy is usually driving it. Last time I saw him he was going down the local highway while it was raining hard... He didn't look to happy either lol.

yea, he does **** like this all the time, and the car looks much better in person, wish I had a shot of the interior. He built the frame and all. On the solid rearend, he used piston rods as LCA's and even made them greasable.

Nice ride!

Does it have shocks and springs or is it a stiff ride like a hard tail bike?

i believe it is stiff but I could be wrong.......... it mite have leaf springs in the back, but from the pics doesnt seem like it, its stiff if you ask me but I can find out. Still has a nice ride to it.
