Headlight mounts Spent some time installing bracing from the firewall to the grill. Sorry forgot pics. Also built a mount for one headlight. Now the trick is to make one more similar enough that noise notices a difference. Cut up an old handle bar off a Honda Bike, then did a reweld to look...

If you butt weld it, there is less work than the roof. You could tack it together on the truck then unbolt the fender to make it easier to work on a bench or a couple saw horses. No big reaching and you could sit to do it. Break the stock flange bolts loose before you weld for easy access...

Not a Rat Rod.... But wow do I ever like the idea.

Great video! Doesn't sound anything Like the VW I had.

That is looking real good![cl Factory welds were often a little rough. Wouldn't worry about it. You cleaned it up nice.

Thanks for all of the positive comments guys. I am not lowering the truck further. This is the ride height. I plan on driving it and Edmonton has S$%T for streets! I tend to drive hard. Besides to lower any further I need to raise the drive train to get oil pan and transmission clearance. Just...

Thanks Pops. Plan is no fenders.

more pics Was a pretty cold day so we rolled it out quick and snapped a few shots before we froze. The headlights are propped up with magnets:rolleyes:

finally, some pictures!! Here is the box I built.

X 2 on the Johnny Joints. In my Jeep for years. I have thought of using a TJ frame with Dana 44 and Currie stuff for a rat build. Smooth as silk

You want to match the gap to the front end, or.... Stuff a bigger tire in the back. You should mock it up with a larger tire just to get it on paper. It's looking real good Torchie.

Hey Torchie, what are you running for tires and rims on the back? I don't recall. But you know that is the least amount of work. Were you going to run white walls and a narrow profile tire?

Hey Dr. Thanks man.

That is moving along!

look over how I did my 49 chop for some ideas. Torchie is another good source to look for ideas. some will translate to your build, some won't.

About the O2 tank. I couldn't get anything for it, couldn't get it filled or certified. got it for free. cut it up for several different things. Thanks for the compliments guys.

Hey Pops, I had an old oxygen bottle sitting around and used the base. Free steel. I am hoping it will slowly release heat from the charcoal into the dutch oven. Ive been getting into smoking, BBQ, Disced and dutch oven cooking as another interest.

nice work!

nice truck. [cl Make sure if you chop and channel that you can still fit in the truck.

more progress Drivers side is welded, and my dutch oven stand.
