Thanks for the suggestions, the 55 it is. Time to get busy, the shop is getting full of parts that need to get bolted back on. I wish I had a cart like I've seen in some of the build projects, to put the '51 cab on so I can roll it around. I may have to build one of those first.

Not rubbing, it was an honest question[dr

I have 3 project vehicles now and I am like a kid in the candy store and don't know which one to work on. Project 1: 69 chevelle non rat rod material but would like to pro-street it; have the tires and wheels but no back-half kit and have to spend about $2500 for one, so that one is on the back...

Thank you for the welcome and welcome to you as well!!

Sure, I would be interested in looking at them, thank you!

I am "Stump" from eastern Iowa and a new member of RRR. I have been a dirt track racer for the last 20 years and have decided to hang up the helmet. Over the last 20 years, I have bent up plenty of sheet metal and tubing on and off the track. I became intrigued with rat rods over the summer...
