I am really enjoying this Rat Rod build. It is amazing to see the work progress with some patience and understanding of metal work. I dig the look of fasteners (bolts, screws or rivets) to make the rat rod “LOOK” like it was thrown together with little thought (even though it does take a lot of consideration and planning to do it properly). Can’t wait for the next video.
Thanks! It's been fun building it so far. However, I'm putting it on the table while I get my Grandpa's 71 GMC put back together. Sorry. Hope the other projects are equally as interesting. Trying to keep it all low buck and fun!
Glass shop employee. I recommend getting rid of the center after assembly. We use urethane to install glass . Mary the center or glass and fill in the gap with urethane too . Urethane holds 300 ft lbs per square inch. You glass can help support frame . You need to widen the pinch weld . Gaskets holding in the Windshield is floppy. You will have lots of seams that separate.
I don't like the sharp corners you left at the top of windshield frame, I would have rounded the top corners to match curve of t h e windshield glass!! But this is your project not mine!!!
Yeah that would be interesting to know. However, I can lift the whole thing quite easily. My guess is that it is under 100 pounds! Literally, I'd quess it weighs about as much as an 80 lb bag of concrete as a reference.
I love the Job you have done on the Rat Rod keep on going peace James Wood✌💀🤓

Thanks for the input
You got my brain going now I'm going to pull that old bucket out of my bush and follow along with you.
The corner of the windshield frame would probably look better rounded off at least!

Would be curious to see how heavy it is if they any way putting it on a scale. Looks like at least 300 pounds. Awesome save on it

@@crazydadsgarage2344 that's got to be lighter than a fiberglass body right?
Any new updates on this?
Wher did source the wind shield frame
What happened to the Lotus project? I'm interested because I own a '74 Special.
Yeah...It got put back into the storage unit while I try to figure out how to round up enough money to paint it!
Is there any update?
Why didn't you roll a bead in the door to match the quarter. Why all the screws? Just weld it!
No bead roller and I get to do it my way!
Why no more video uploads…?
Do not like the top corners of windshield frame!!
As long as you are happy with it that's all that matters!!!!
Hmmm
