Hello all, the reason for the " kinda" comment in the subject line is I did a ground up restoration on a 51 f1 (sold it years ago). Im a newb in the rat rod genre. When I rebuilt the 51 I put a 302/C4/9 inch combo in it. I would like to kind of do the same thing with another truck. The only thing I have no clue about is the frame and chopping of the top. Part of me wants to just dive in and build the frame but I like the idea of using the dakota/s10/ranger frame.
So anyway I hope to narrow down cabs and frames etc. Oh, another thing I may try but feel a little intimidated is I want to put a more current engine/trans combo and am worried about the electronic computerside of the engine . Is there something out there that calms the nerves and walks you through? A book for dummies like me thing?
I look fwd to reading a bunch on here and to maybe even throw some questions your way. I promise to do my best and NOT ask the same questions that have been asked a 100 times before.
