[MOC] Rat Rod (Alternative build for 42141)

[A Great Builder]

Hello Community!

This is my most recent MOC. An alternative of set 42141. For this one I designed a Rat Rod. This was challenging as moving the engine to the front and raise the high of the engine was not easy due to limited gears on the set. And also the challenge of creating a HoG steering behind the seats and not centered.

I am pleased with the car frame and I will use it to create more alternatives from this set. I also managed to create a roll-cage to provide a more "sport" feeling.

I hope you like the final look as much as I do...

That's pretty cool!  I wouldn't call it a rat rod (they're normally rusty rods put together with questionable materials and skill), more of a hot rod that appears to be able to go offroad.  It reminds me of the Stance|Works Model A hotrod with a lift kid.  Very creative!

Thanks... The name was something I was thinking a lot too. I chose Rat Rod because I am working in other project that is also a hot rod.

Maybe adding stickers to make it look rusty? (I am not a fan of stickers)

It looks pretty good. 

Another thing, cna you help me with a problem with a "custom model" of this set. I am trying to make the fron wing removable but there is a little piece that is giving me headache.
