Sound's like you know something I don't Daz,

 

I have alway's liked the little side quarter window:-

 

- can swap the window for another, that the Rego stickers are on

- break into your own car without much cost

- flipped right out is a forced Air-conditioner in Summer

 

Great you are thinking RAT.

Love your work Dave.

You are literally saving this car from the crusher and doing a good job of it too.

A long way to go but you're on the right track mate.

Not sure Craig,

 

I heard they are Legal here in WA, and still use the Factory Locking System too.

the ones i the first pic are good dave,they would bolt up in the same spot where the bump stops are on radiator support panel.these are the ones i meant,bit dearer though and a bit modern for the rat rod  ljzedded 290.jpg   84.25K   2 downloads

Good Point Maz,

 

The radiator support panel shelf metal, holding the bonnet rubber stops, is only 1.6mm thick, so no need for 1/2" ones, 10mm will be fine then.

 

Well that cosmetic RAT look is sorted.

Don't think you'll get it over the pits with pins Dave

I put mine over the pits a few years ago and had no trouble. Although I think the inspector was more interested in taking it for a drive than looking over it properly. Come to think of it, I still had the 10" rims on too.

Dave I, How about four (4) bonnet pins and a lift-off fiberglass bonnet (incl. moulded A9X scoop). Just like they did with those crazy Mopars back in 69 (factory option A12). Doesn't get anymore lightweight than this!

Great Man for the Experienced Information Laurie, I recon the Inspector will want to Drive a  'RAT ' too.

You are never out of the Best Idea's Aleks,

 

Will have to ask the Question down at DOT later, the Modification List is growing.
