About “Bat Rod”
I bought this LT-1 from a "friend" (no longer) by email who said it was "ready to go." it was not. It had no paint, boxes of parts, engine problems and the interior was in need of much TLC. After much work, it is now the Bat Rod, with a hot, solid-lifter basically-stock engine, factory A/C and much more. It sits low and is bad.
