1925 Ford Model T "Farmer Barstow's Rat Rod"

[Chuck Most]

I started this back in 2019. It just kinda languished until I wrapped it up this weekend. 

The idea was a rod built up around various cast off items found on or around a farm. The body, dash, and pickup bed came from the AMT chopped coupe. Various 1930s Ford components make up the front suspension. Rear axle and springs are 1953 F100. The Mopar flathead six... Let's say it's an industrial version taken from a Massey Harris combine... Wears a finned head from The Parts Box, a scratch built intake and header, and a smashed mailbox as a scoop. It also has a Morgan Automotive Detail prewired distributor. The Cockshutt tractor grille and cast iron style tractor seats came from Maple Leaf Model Parts (?) on Shapeways. Rear wheels and tires are Scenes Unlimited. The bed is filled with a beer keg turned into a fuel tank and milk crate from Iceman Collections. The business end of an old manure spreader was scratch built and added to the back.
