lookin' good !!! I like the wheels and spindles.Keep us updated on your build-[cl Later

 

[Snake Farm]

Neat looking project! Ditto on the wheels too. Welcome to RRR and keep up posted on your progress.

 

[watters1117]

Thanks for the compliments on the wheels. Most of these parts are left overs from 15 years of racing stock cars. I tried selling these parts, but decided to build something cool, so far it has been a blast!

 

[earthman]

Race car parts on a rat. What can be better than that? Welcome to the board
and please continue to keep us updated.

 

[Got Rust?]

exaust thru the frame does'nt make a weak spot?
and what about the coupe body in the background?
glad you joined, keep us posted.[P

That is a very cool build, welcome to RRR. [cl

 

[jfg455]

you have some nice fab work going on there. Keep it up. I'm in.[P[

 

[blacksheep]

I'm really diggin this build because that is the direction I'm going with my T Bucket project. Looking good .

 

[Dragfink]

Pretty bitchin'...nice fab work...any details on the windshield posts? I'm assuming the cowl was from a closed car?

 

[RAT IHC]

Great work! I like the exhaust. I'll be something similar with my truck build, but I'm going to take it all the back and exit behind the tires. On the bed rails it looks like you used some thin wall DOM tubing? Keep up the good work! [cl

 

[watters1117]

Hey drag fink and rat ihc the cowl was off a closed car and that was all i had to start as far as the windsheild post a got them at a swap meet they look like they were sand casted i gave 40 bucks for them then welded them to fit body . yes the bed rails are made from tubing thanks for ur input

You are building a fine hot rod! The character lines on the sides add a lot to the appearance. It's obvious you are an experienced builder. Thanks for joining RRR so we can follow along.
Did you use door skins to make the sides? What were they from? Is the back panel from a truck? Did you have to wheel it or was it formed? I hope you don't mind all the questions. I like you car so much there could be one like it my my neighborhood someday.

 

[SugarRay8]

That’s going to be one BA truck when you get done! [cl

I see you have a couple future projects lurking as well, really like that coupe. [dr
