So last weekend my buddy Jase and I were talking how we really missed an Uber rat at the show's this season,

So we had this hair brained idea to get something happening for yesterday(Our Easter show).

As some of you know I built a rat CB back in 2005......

What most people don't know was there was another, much rattier CB (KO752) That Dad and I owned at the same time. It has been dragged through a few house moves and was happily out to pasture in Dad's yard, until last Saturday that is, hahaha.

As it was only a body we needed a pan too, so Dad donated the pan from under a half built choptop that he recently found......

We threw in a spare long axle box, got the body on and took it around to HQ............

Cheers for the positive comments guys Smile

It's been a lot of fun, and at least it's not just returning to the earth in a field somewhere.

After a long hibernation we thought we might as well throw another engine in the CB and take it along to the Jamboree (a VW show here).
