Your on the same track as us. I kept getting asked at the show what kind of finish we had put on the frame and suspension parts? We played around alot with some gun bluing acid compounds, but couldn't get it right. So then we wire brushed the steel to make it somewhat uniform and put a home brew...

Thanks. It's great to meet you face to face too, especially other guys doing a father n son project. I was glad you made the time to come down and chat awhile. Good luck on your project and let me know if I can ever help you on it. Those "other cars" are the are the only way I can keep going on...

Thanks man. Yours is looking awesome. I hope we can cruz the same hwy somday soon!!!

I have to agree with you, me too. Rat rods almost always look better is bare steel, but I left that decision up to my son. He wants to paint it black eventually, so hot rod primer will work till that day comes, if it ever does.

So we washed the mud off the tires, and spit shined the rust. It's not done, but it runs and stops so it's off to a local car show, finally. For those local guys, it's at the Second Baptist Church in Springfield, MO., on E. Battlefield. Some old hot rodder's put it on for the local Victory...

We got lucky on that. I was at a guys garage and saw it hanging on the wall for decoration. It seems that's the way it works sometimes. After a little begging and pleading, he let me talk him out of it. He thought it looked good on the wall, but his wife thought the money looked better!!!

Thanks thanks thanks for the nice comments guys..... Here's a few shots of how we mounted the pedals and brakes. The clutch pedal needs some more work to look right, but it works at least. Since the floor panel was make first, now all I have to do is notch it in the areas that I need too. Much...

I see why you liked my truck so much. Great minds think alike!!! Love your truck too! I see your in Ark City KS? great. That means we'll run into each other some where along the road to come. I'm 6'4" too. What's up with us tall guys and these itsy bitsy trucks? Cant wait to see what you do with...

Back again.... Hey guys, Thanks for all the nice posts since I've been away from here. The good thing about a hotrod project, you can push it back in a corner and wait until you get time to work on it again. Life hasn't given us much time to play lately but it's finally running and drivable...

I've not checked in on you in awhile and it's nice to see the progress. Very cool. I like the dash, it turned out nice. You've kept the same theme throughout the ride, good job.

Nice job on the chassis, very impressive. Love the look of your truck.

This is cool. I love the metal work on the bed.

Nice ride. The rear suspension is cool and the headlight placement really tops off the look. Great build.

Much better

It's missing grill sections so it's the perfect canidate to cut down to size.
