Hey ya'll; I'm new to the forum. I had little interest in ratrods until about 5 months ago. I was building a 1947 Plymouth street rod and ran out of $$. I had a 48 Dodge parts car with a running flathead six and a solid frame. I figured I could build something out of it to sell so I could keep working on my Plymouth. I scored a 54 GMC cab from a local boneyard for a few hundred bux. Then I started selling parts off of the Dodge that I wasn't going to use on Ebay and using the cash to buy stuff I needed like a grille, headlights, brake rebuild parts, etc, etc... So far it's a mix of Dodge, Plymouth, GMC, and Chevy parts left over from old projects. Now I understand why you all like this kind of build. It's come together fast for very little cash and has been a lot of fun so far. I may have to keep it a while. I just finished lowering the front, rebuilding the brakes, and putting it back together. Now I'll start on the rearend. Great site, you guys have some cool looking rides!
