THE LITTLE RED RATWAGON

[ZINGER]

I WAS AT A FLEAMARKET ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND FOUND A TOY FLEXIBLE FLYER WAGON REPLICA FOR $5.00. IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO WITH IT. I HAD THE BIG RATFINK, THE FORD 427 C.I. SOHC MOTOR, THE SURFBOARD, AND THE BEAUTIFULLY DONE FINKTIM R.F. SHIFT KNOB. THE REST HAD TO BE FOUND AND/OR MADE. MADE THE ZOOMIE HEADERS FROM STYRENE TUBING, THE WHEELIE BARS ARE CUT FROM STAINLESS MUFFLER CLAMPS, THE "WHIP" IS MADE WITH PIANO WIRE W/A MINI RAT RINK ON TOP. REAR END IS MADE FROM STYRENE TUBING AND A MOONEYES ANTENNA TOPPER BALL. REAR SHOCKS ARE MADE FROM STYRENE TUBING AND FAUCET WASHERS. FOUND A RATFINK BICYCLE BELL AND MADE A RF HORN FROM A TOY BICYCLE HORN. I WOULD GUESS IT TO BE 1/8th SCALE AND......IT'S HEAVY.























GRUDGE RACE WITH MY RC 1/8th SCALE 57 CHEVY.

That's the best use of one of those engines I've seen yet ! It looks pretty wild and I bet it weighs more than a ton !
