Why? Because every midengine rat rod 1948 Ford COE dump truck needs a tiny Honda Trail 90 rat bike in its former engine compartment, shrouded by a gym locker. With makeshift construction and a distinct aura of oil, the 4,000pound Series 71 Detroit Diesel 12V71 twostroke engine with twin 671 blowers powers its manuallyshifted Turbo 400 transmission with a double roller chain and produces over 1,000 footpounds of torque and 425 horsepower. Nicole gives it a fresh oil change, then climbs under the gullwing doors and into the wheelbarrowbucket seats of Scotty Ray's "Mad Max" apocalypsesurviving, Rat Finkinspired truck, cruising around the city streets and desert of Las Vegas.
