Greetings All!
First let me say thank you well in advance for the help I know I will receive here in RRR as well as that I will try to return the favors as I am able to and within my knowledge base. I have been a gear-head all my life starting with 60s/70s street rods as a teenager to complete restorations during my adult years, and now finally settling in on Ratrods and Rust/Patina Rods for my second childhood....
I have accumulated a few potential projects so far to include a couple of 46 Chevy Pickups - one a complete truck and the other a failed project that the wife said "get it out of here" from a guy across town. My plans are to finish the one that had already been started by the guy across town first and get it up and going for some near-term gratification and fun while preparing for the "Start-to-Finish" build on the other one. I know I will have a ton of questions on both and look forward to the exchanges in learning and sharing. Ideas are welcome....
Here a few pictures of both to start the discussions and information flow. That is a Chevy Blazer frame under the 46 I acquired already started. It has a stock Chevy small block 350 with a 700R4 automatic tranny and stock Blazer rearend. The cab has been mocked up and temporarily attached to the frame. It actually runs and I drove it up on the car hauler. The all original 46 also runs and I drove it up on the car hauler as well.
By the way? I feel better now that I have bared my soul to the group and exposed all my deep, dark secrets and I apologize for the mistakes I am sure to make along the way....[ddd
