Great creativity and workmanship. I really like the idea of a theme pump. Thanks for sharing.

I like your style. Nice pump! We built a gate for the gut that owns Killbillit.com and learned a little about ratrods and really enjoyed it. Some day I hope to build one. I am working on a clockface ratrod now. Stop by if your in Spokane some time.

One of a kind for sure. Neat hose guards. Is the Rat bike a Harley Sprint?

Hi Joe,

Nice work. Definitly a one of a kind presentation aimed at a niche market. It will be interesting to see how your customer base reacts to it.

If my experience in building up costom/theme pumps is any indicator,you might prepare yourself for a"can you do one in a ???".For me it was easy to price out work that I had done but harder to price out a custom ???.

Best of luck.

Hillside, I just happen to know Austin with Killbillet.com. He is a dealer for some of my Rat Rod products. I might have to send him a picture of this pump, I think he'd get a kick out of it.
I would love to drop by sometime and see some of your collection. I go through Spokane from time to time. The wife...well she spends lots of money there!
Take care.

I'll keep it here for a short while before it goes on the market. There is a Tattoo shop here in town that has shown some interest. If they don't take it I'll probably list it on eBay and see what happens.

yes I would agree, Custom work is very hard to quote. I have to admit this pump was exhausting! I can't tell you how many nights I spent pondering ideas in my head rather then sleeping. My next build will be a traditional branded pump but I already have an idea of what kind of theme pump I'll be building after that, Just have to find the right pump.

Nice pump! Don't know about rat rod though, there's no rust nor spiderwebs and it doesn't look like it's going to fall apart wink
Posted By: mMike Re: Rat Rod Tok. 39 build pictures! - Tue Apr 06 2010 11:31 PM
Very cool!

I just don't have this kind of imagination... so I do what really existed and what I can have a model!

Keep up the good work.

Mike

Nice!!!!!!! A buddy of mine built a rat bike, from everything but bike parts. And then he got it warmed up and poured gas on the motor, to give it that never washed look. Very cool!!!! But dangerous....Ditto,On the Chick.

After two weeks of looking at her I decided to make some minor changes. Next week she gets listed on eBay! cry

Turned out nice Joe. I would rather see the Chevron pump rebranded like yours than end up at the recyclers.
