3k-One Year-30's Ford-Rat Rod Build Thread

[Wolfco]

This is my first post ever, and my first car project ever. Yes, i have a welder. I like the the 3k project attempts. Building a car using whatever you can find is going to be fun. I have had some other cars, nothing very old. This will my first true hot rod. My attempt will be a 1930's Model A Ford Truck Rat Rod build. I was planning on buying all the parts on E bay and Craigslist and wherever and THEN start the build this fall so i could work on this project during the cold MN winter, but that idea lasted about 6 weeks. I couldnt wait so the build date started 6/7/08. I will try to keep the thread updated weekly so i can ask questions and get feedback from the experienced guys. This should be fun. I am a bargain hunter, but now that i have started, i hope i can still shop for deals and build this car for 3k. It will be a custom frame, airbagged, chopped, channeled, 350 SBC/350 turbo tire smokin hot rod. sorry if that offends anyone. let do it Here is pic of the cab and box i bought on E bay for $630 bucks.
