My new sweetheart

[bob w]

Very nice work on the cowl and firewall.

 

[sgtpontiac]

I agree....

very nice......[cl

 

[Neverdone]

I really like the look of the lengthened cab. I wish when I bought my rat he hadn't have done some of the things he had. I would have made mine a bit longer just since I am so tall....

 

[earthman]

unanimous approval....you may continue...[P

 

[Gus]

Thanx you guys for the compliments and encouragement I had some help on the extension from my friend who is a member of RRR but I cant find him to see what name he used in here ??
What is funny, is there has only been oh about 6-7 people in the shop where I've been building this who have seen this in person, but here at Rat Rods Rule almost seven thousand people have watched me build this thing WOW. [cl thank you, everyone

I haven't died or given up just DISCOURAGED. I have a OCD problem if ur going to do it, do it right. And then there are those little 1/8 inch off problems that I just cant stop noticing. I say to myself oh no one will notice BUT weather you notice or not,I KNOW IT'S THERE. Yes GJ Mike the frame was going to get paint until I NOTICED certain things that have to be fixed. Trying to find the clutches for a detroit locker locally is like trying to find a nun at the Bunny Ranch. But I haven't given up I have been doing things to get it out on the road, we have a huge car show here on the 20th and 21st of this month, I really wanted to make it but I'm sure thats not going to happen I'm about to the point that if it goes down the road sideways so what it's on the road.

 

[GJunktionMike]

I was about to release the dogs

We all do that from time to time. Fixing things now is better then down the road. Also there is no shame in trailering it to a show, mine went to 2 that way. I was just happy they let me in.

1/8th inch? My tape measure doesn't even have increments that small.

I have to abuse an old wisecrack here, "What's an 1/8th of an inch? When I build these things, I use a yardstick. It's either on the line, or the next one over."

Sorry 'bout the hijack, Gus. Keep up the good work, it's lookin' good!

Oh I know I shouldn't be so picky it's just a rat rod "city rat" that is LOL... I'm just trying to move forward and make something that will turn a head or two and make others point fingers LOL,LOL ... and I didn't see a bomb so there was no hijacking going here or there!!!!

 

[Gus]

That cab has some awesome patina!!! Truck looks great! Outstanding job on the firewall and the head light stands.
