Just wanted to share some quick photos of the Rat on display with KC HiLiTES at the 2026 @themint400 on Fremont Street and in Primm.

New @griffinradiator is mounted up and installed in the Rat, and it looks great! I wanted to mount radiator as far forward as possible in the cowl so we extended the mounting tabs for the cowl and welded an additional base plate under the radiator to give it more
stability in the new position.

Again, Thank you @griffinradiator!

Things have been crazy, but we're back at it in the new shop! Today we're fitting up the new custom radiator by @griffinradiator thank you so much for the support. As you can see, things are very tight and this radiator and fan package is way more efficient and powerful, but also a bit thicker than the old stuff, but we got this!

Been working on on this for a minute! It's not perfect, but the important parts are where they need to be. 3d Scanned Rat Rod.

We're hoping to add @texasspeed and @mickeythompsontires if it seems beneficial for everyone concerned.

This is an opportunity for a specific model type, must be professional. Must have at least a good post-apocalyptic costuming base. For the right model I may be able to help with small improvements if needed, but won't have time for a complete look. This will be a fun shoot with a renowned photographer. DM if interested

Here, there be Pirates...
