Rat Rod build part 8, Germany

This is my 1930 Model A Ford Coupe that has been chopped 4 inches, channeled 6 inches and runs a 1992 BMW V12. I stripped all the electronics off the engine and it now runs a homemade stainless steel intake with 4 Rochester 2G Carbs, homemade Lakes style headers and two Chevy HEI distributors mounted to each camshaft bank.
On the road with plates tomorrow (4 May 2011)

beautiful. what do you think the hardest part of the whole project was??? engine or packaging the whole thing in such a small body???

@sincityryder

Actually everything was pretty straight forward. Welded up the entire frame in about two days and that includes the tapper in the front and Z in the rear. I started from scratch because that was actually easier. I guess I spent the most time on the stainless steel intake because that is what I consider the coolest part.

@Karolilalu I bought another BMW V12 this week with the Trans ($500). I would encourage more folks to stick these motors in thier rides because they have plenty of power and "in my humble opinion" look bad ass.
