the mount for the friction shock links.

Those are Houdaille shocks - common on early Fords. They are hydraulic, not friction.

Picked up my seat cushions I had made for the jegs bomber seats.

Very nice!

we added some beef to the rear bag brackets and started to wrap the wood inside the body to strengthen it up.

My buddy added some more strength to the windshield posts.

new bags installed, rear shocks/mounts finished up on the top, more bracing on the floor section of the body and we put the body back on for hopefully the last time.

Yikes! A real rat rod.[cl Looks like you can knock over brick walls with it. Nice work.

Haha thanks man! I truly love the "rat rod" idea of using different unique parts, no fancy paint, making it your own, not going by the book but I just can't bring myself to let us build something thats just unsafe and tossed together. I really want this to be a safe, well thought out reliable hot rod without the fancy paint and overdone chrome off the shelf bolt on parts. Its taking longer than I originally wanted but I am super happy with what it has become and now am extremely happy we didnt rush it!

Been slacking lately, sorry guys.

Very nice work lengthening the hood. The car overall looks great!

 

[Old Stuff]

I see you beat me over here but I made it too! Gotta like a site that is definitely Undead! [cl

The ride is looking super! Stretch on the hood looks great.
