Cool start! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Will, my friend, you're insane. In a good way, of course, but abso-freakin-lutely bonkers nonetheless. Keep it up, Bro, I'm havin' a good time watchin'. Can we get some pipes belchin' flames? That would be tits, eh?

M35 Rat looks like a beast! by Will Pattinson, on Flickr

This is it so far, but still loads to do!

Welcome to the madhouse, these trucks are awesome

That truck-rod is Bogan-as mate.
Still cant get over that turbo

Sometimes in life you just need BOOST haha

In fact that is exactly why my wife's Mini Cooper S has ended up running twice the boost over standard hahahahaha.

The Turbo was a Thingverse find and printed at 150% i think

Last night the M2 rod ends arrived for the rear suspension setup, hopefully later this week the M3 rod ends arrive for the 4 link setup and then this truck is ready for a real test.
I made the engine mount location as part of the rear subframe structure. Uses a metal WPL drive shaft.
More details and pictures to follow as you know and hopefully some video.
I will also then try to get a modified HL smoker to pump smoke up the stacks!!!!!(any hints by the way, please let me know)

But this did happen ,the one's that went for scrap after the war.
So yes i like, if some don't rat over hotrod.RAT

To Rat or not to Rat, that is the question haha.

I will be working on a few more scale .military trucks also. But all.my spare parts get used a d turned into these 'other' builds. Nothing is wasted
