I haven't made any videos of that 1959 Buick Electra 225 rat rod build for Ratstock for more than a minute. Sorry bout that. Here's a little update of the latest progress. I started this video on Thursday and finished it up on Sunday. I think we are getting down to about 48 days left until the BIG DAY!

Here is the way we narrowed our 8.8 rear axle 2 and 7/8 " on the left side.

So in this video the Ratstock Ratrod Buildoff Buick Electra 225 chassis gets a little closer. We tried several methods to connect the frame rails together and finally made some pieces I approved. The rear axle was cut, removing 2 7/8 " from the drivers side. We will grab a right side axle shaft to put on that side.

We finished that motor mount.

So here is our latest video. I tried a new format so you could see a little more...parts of it are pretty good?! We weld on the rear frame rails, and finish building the trans mount.

Today we continued working on the chassis. Rick is working on engine mount brackets and front half frame construction while Andrew finishes up the rear half. Meanwhile Dakota starts all of our pretty welds!

Here's some more video of frame rail creation and construction. Andrew is making some rail pieces, while I am drawing some ideas for a transmission cross member.

I drew up some patterns, cut out some brackets and began building the rear suspension.

Finally got the ground work laid to start building the chassis. Starting with the rear cross member we can begin to add frame sections from the back forward.

We packed up the body for now and brought out the frame table. Now we're gonna start taking measurements and laying out the start of our chassis.

Tonight we ran some string lines and took some measurements to lay out the chassis. Andrew cut out some more of the old, and we are taking it outside to clean it up so we can por the inside.

Tonight we played around with measuring for the firewall and got around to cutting up the fenders to see what it might look like.

Experimenting with using some parts off the car's original front clip. We don't know if that's what we want to do yet, but it's gonna give us an idea of where we need to be.

Like we said we would do, we finally have the car wedged down the middle and pushed together. Now we have an idea of how we want to put this thing together.
