    Need some insight on 1st rat rod

    Alright guys thanks for all the help, I'll have to see what happens when I start on it. I'll keep my eyes open for parts. I've looked at some pictures and I think you guys are right, I'll probably leave the box, hood, and fenders all on.

    Need some insight on 1st rat rod

    Hey everyone I'm new here and I have a few questions. I have a 48 Chevy thriftmaster pickup, and I was wanting to make this into a rat rod. It's complete, but has been sitting in the weeds for years.... I plan to cut the hood and front fenders off, and maybe the box I'm not sure yet. Right now...
