Thank you! I regard that as a big compliment. I think too many rat rod builders try too hard to get silly with all sorts of ridiculous add ons and zero attempt at a bit of "styling". My vision is too try and combine rust and "design" without adding stupid stuff😅

DiV, you are a rugged individualist, and creative artist. Although living on the edge of the Outeniqua Forest, through KZfaq, your genius is not hidden away. As a young man, in the mid 50's, in Cape Town, I did the same thing, using parts from MG TC, Hillman, Ausitn, Armstrong Siddley. The Chassis was from Wolsley. My partner was a sheet metal wiz. If I had an email I would send you a photo.

The rear end is looking good Div, well done. I know that panel as the rear valance, similarly the front is called the front valance. (I see the Americans refer to it as the roll pan). There are many terminology differences I have found, example the radiator core support we refer to as the craddle, bonnet is hood, etc etc). Wow, I didn't think that tail light bezel could look any better, you certainly pulled it off looks awesome. Thank you for sharing. Awaiting for the wizard...Till the next one.
@ratrodsafrica
@ratrodsafrica Жыл бұрын
And now you also taught me another word! Valance. Yes, many examples of terminology differences. Indicators - turn signals, cubby hole - glove box, mudguards - fenders, to name a few more. I think the list can get quite long.

Your tail lights are technically meant to be on the outside as when you have your running lights/parker lights on especially at night it marks out the corners of the vehicle so other cars can judge the width.

Man! She is a beaut! I think your right, it needs some of that blue/green color on the bed to tie it in better. And darkening the rust with the oil is going to make a big difference. Sure wish I could make it over there to ride around in it with you. I think that would be a blast. 👍🏻👍🏻

Maybe that's a Austin Cambridge lens. Plenty repos out there. Maybe same as mini rubber. But a resin pore is more fun. Lol. Rod looking great. Great build. I see these flowers in Spain But mid summer.. think I'd cut some moon discs for the wheels And rust them up. Maybe with a chrome decal in the middle. You could sink a disk in the rear wheels and attach a hub cap to the disc. Good luck Boet. .lekka Man. Lol.

Thanks Chris. Yes, I'm not sure about the reverse lights either... like I said in the video

Looking awesome my friend! Just as a suggestion maybe some copper tubing around the reverse lights instead of the chrome. Either way 5 star

Thanks! Could also be done with copper. But I feel the aluminum goes with the other bits of chrome on the truck.
