F bomb is not a rat rod. They put 40grand under the hood. The build up can be read in hot rod. Its David Frieburgers ride.

well reasons behind sorta rat roding my girl is. i payed 300$ for it and its missing alot. its not that i CANT buy oem repo parts and full restore it. its just im an 18~19 year old guy going into college. i have a hole in my floor the size of a floor mat i need to weld up. no door panels miss matching body panels and little to no money. BUT she can DD and is solid. new trans and solid 305 right now and so on. so instead of putting 3~4 grand into my 300$ car that needs alot of work. i can lighten reinforce and sheet metal my girl into a cool striped down version of its self that functions and is "comfortable" and focus on building the motor i want for it and just have the awesome sleeper rat rot camaro.

cause in all reality like i said. i can go out with 2,000$ and find a camaro that needs a new 350 and carpet and a lill body work and is 99% together and no rust if i looked around. and id rather restore my dads 70 1/2 RS if i did that. OR another car down the road. i like datsun 280z and really wana build one of those up with a turbo or put my 305 in one. or ect...........

see all i got to do now is blow the front end apart this winter align all the body panels sand a few of them to metal sand the body down a little and have my buddy shoot it with semi gloss rustolium. bed line the floors inside. sheet metal the doors up. fix my seats sheet anything else up and get a roll bar setup from summit and have an awesome setup
