Well, My thoughts on the Rat Rod have been somewhat varied until this past week. A friend of mine is restoring a 52 f-100. He has a total of three trucks to build one. He told me that he has a 51 cab, chassis and bed, and several doors, that is soon to be parting with at almost no cost. I have in mind to build a box tube frame. I have never done one from scratch, but I have modified a few and boxed in some partials. That is part of the reason for joining this site. I will be picking some of your brains for ideas and info, when the time comes to fab the frame. I have a couple of engine combinations, already. one is a 350, moderately modified and the other is a 454. The 454 is supposed to go into my 72 short bed pu. I also have a muncie 4 speed and a couple of 350 turbos. Decisions will be made sometime down the road.
I will post some pictures of my other toys soon. I am at work right now and don't have access to my photos.
Thanks for the welcomes! I look forward to chatting with you guys as my projects begin.
