Built them several years ago. I did box stock, a bunch of modified and then did a few that looked as if they've been sitting on the farm for 20 years. I used to take them to the Autorama. I recieved several 1st-3rd ribbons. I have recently thought about picking it back up but my rat project will...

I was told by a long time builder of custom cars and rods. "There is no wrong way to build a car as long as it is safe and YOU enjoy it."

I'm removing the IFS from my frame also. I am doing this because I want a solid axle and I want the tires in front of the grille. My .02.

My first thoughts were.......WTF????? As I scrolled through the pics it started to grow on me. I like it. I like things that are different. I have a BM'r friend that I need to how this to. I'm sure he would love it. Keep up the work and be sure to keep us up to date on the progess or digression...

OK............I'll start a thread in a day or two. Happy and safe holidays to all. Happy Roddin'

I have just spent a lot of time reading this thread. (worth every minute) Your truck is amazing. It seems as if we have similar design ideas. I hope my project (47 Willys) turns out 1/2 as nice as yours You deserve all the recognition you get. You have built a VERY nice piece.

Jim Phillips Layton Utah 47 Willys truck Chopped and shortened (8" windshield-4' bed) I purchased the truck in pieces with the chop already done. The truck is sitting on an import frame of some sort 8" from the ground (2wd Nissan or Toyota). More to come........
