Good to hear all is well with you. Same here. God blesses us with a new day and so many blessing in each its hard to name them all.

Got the car up on stands at the moment. Made a list last night of things to do so it looks like it will be on stands for some time now so I can get everything under it done. I will post a couple of pics soon.

Yes, I do. Just look at "New build thread; 48 Plymouth". Making a list is a good idea, helps keep the plan moving smoothly. Let's see them pics!

the hot rod is lookin great larry. i really like that i-6.those little things at the end of a build can take a lot of time. that s10 was rittled with little things that are hard to get to,hahaha, its all fun though.just aint nothin like it.

Aint that the truth geezer. Seems as soon as you get one thang done two more pop up......... but its fun as you say. Wont know what to do when I finish it...... guess just drive it ......heheheheheh

I think the old trucks look great in olive drab flat paint! It gives them that classic old look! Somehow or other it just makes the old body style stand out.

z'd original frame, put Speedway motors new dropped front axle kit in it with vega box, complete drive train came out of a 1988 z-28 camaro, even the driveshaft was perfect length. Used camaro rear suspension also. Only $650 in original truck and about the same for the camaro. cheap build. chopped top 3 1/2", cut 6" off bottom of truck and channeled 6" over frame for real low look.

Very nice daytonagary.

Start a build thread and share all your photos with us. Just go to new topic under the Rat Rod section, title it and have a go at it. We would all like to see more of your build.
