Well finally got some work done this past thanksgiving long weekend. My father and I were able to pull the engine/transmission and rear end from my parts truck. With any luck, this weekend I'll get my cab moved so I can lay down a couple more sheets of plywood I have. Getting closer to...

Thanks for the kind words, my new found friend is 78, going on 79 years old. He and I have stuck a friendship through cars as a few others, but something about him reminds me of my grandfather.my grandparents lived next to me for my entire life, until their passing a few years back. They were a...

Thanks for the warm welcome. Pics will come soon in the next few days with any luck. Yes, I am going to use the v10 magnum engine. It has an auto transmission, which will most likely be used, but I'd like to get a hold of a 5-speed manual. If I can find one affordable. As far as dealings, I...

Hi all, I came across this website while researching for my rat build. I am located in Iroquois, Ontario Canada. I am quite partial to mopars, but love pretty much anything that looks cool and has wheels and a engine. I love home built rods, and can appreciate the effort put into someone...
