It's not a rat rod if it starts out as a nice car and you ruin it with a crappy paint job, lettering and pinstriping. [P

I also have a '39 chevy pickup cab for a build platform. I stopped by a guys house this weekend who was doing the same swap you're thinking of doing with his '37 chevy pickup. I noticed that the frame is too wide for the front of the cab and you will have to do some serious fabrication to narrow...

I picked this gem up from the original owner, completely unmolested since '87. And I found this in a barn in New York, sitting for 15 years. 1975 xs650 Then there's this p.o.s. I bought for parts. I'm entertaining the idea of putting my '39 chevy cab on this frame but I don't know if the...

I currently have no garage and building my ride has been real slow. Everytime I want to work on it, I get all my tools out from the basement, set everything up, make cuts, fit panels, tack weld and BAM... RAIN! I was thinking about a car port or a portable garage to keep the rain off my head...

That sentance by itself explains why it stinks. :D

That's the first thing I thought of too. :cool: Great video, made my day!

I'll give you credit for your creativity and dedication. That is a nice setup. I'm still glad I got to use my pipe bender for more than just pipe, it made my investment that much more satisfying. I think I have $100 into the bender. :D

I used my harbor freight pipe bender... worked perfect and I didn't have to make anything. :D

I like my muscle car. '71 Monte carlo, runs 11.5's without nitrous. :cool: Very old pic when it first got the fiberglass bumper. Newer shot, minus the decals on the quarters w/ the stock wheels (currently has center caps)

Welcome aboard! I may have my '39 chevy pickup cab for sale shortly. I will know for sure in about 2 weeks. You've got first dibs if you're interested. I may even be able to deliver because I should be headed to Long Island. :cool:

Welcome, nice to see some new englanders in the group! ;)

My '53, I'll drive it someday.

This is what I found out. http://xs650temp.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Troubleshooting&action=display&thread=12407 Can't confirm though. :confused:

Hey guys, I need help figuring out what part I'm missing on my '75. You helped me pick it out with my other post and I started dissasembling it today to prep for mod's and repairs. When I took the gas tank off I noticed these two plugs and this rubber strap weren't hooked to anything, what the...

I took a 3 hour drive to New York this weekend and picked up this 1975 xs650 for $200. It's been sitting in a barn for 10 years and needs some work because of all the moisture, but it's complete and I have a title.
