This is going to be a low buck rat rod. My first attempt at building a car so I want to keep it cheap. No fenders, no hood, just a cab and radiator shroud. I know I am opening a whole can of worming cutting the frame, but I want to get the cab just a few inches off the ground. I am already flipping the spring eyes, pulling every other spring, and switching the axle from below to above the springs. I am going to channel the cab the width of the frame (6") also to get it a little lower. I should need a 12" z in the back to make up for the 6" in the front. The "legs" at the sides of the firewall should cover the front z, and if I put bed sides on they will cover the back.
