Looking good mate! If ur legs & knees r getting sore. Get yourself a set of kneepads from bunnings & keep em on all day. U won't even know their on. Get the ones that just have a single velcro strap goin round leg, as they r easier to get on/off & dont sweat as much. Makes everything on the ground so much more enjoyable/ easier. All the best with ur builds 👍

hey Paul, thanks for the tip! actually a great idea! cheers for the comment 🍻

The grille looks cool, but I'd personally go with handmade pieces instead of railway spikes. As for the bumper, maybe go with a chrome one?

@TwistedMetalCustoms hell yeah... can't wait to do some custom stuff on my channel!! :-)

G’day mate, Good to see the ratty is getting some love .. You could use the deluxe grills for the rear sides of the bonnet, it would look sweet as well as having the function of removing hot air from the engine bay. As with the bumper, check the legal side of it as here in Qld, you have to have them. But a split front bumper would look sweet. Have a good one, mouse
