Okay...so how did I find this great place? I was searching images online for rat rod dually trucks and came across one your members' builds: a green Diamond T Dually that gave me goose bumps as I checked out the build. I aspire to build a truck similar. So what I have to work with is a rolling '52 Dodge pickup, of which I shall post pics. Welding and fabricating is not a problem...stuff in the garage: Miller Syncrowave 250 TIG, Miller 185 MIG, Hypertherm 45 Plasma, torches, etc. By the way, I would really like to make friends here with the person who has built the green Diamond T truck.
I am not a member yet, but have been hanging out a lot with The Chattanooga Rat Rod Association... aka Chatt' Rats. David Rose is a pretty cool guy, Denny, Les, Ben...cool cats. I have been dragging my rat bicycles to their shows and stuff to set up...waiting for a truck to roll my way, which has recently arrived. I have been trying to find a COE, which I have found an awesome Chevy COE tow truck, have had the money to buy it 3 times but darn...life comes up and cash has had to be diverted. So, having to do this on the cheap now and settling for the '52 Dodge. Guess the Dodge was meant to be. Have a sb 350 and auto trans from a donar truck. Looking to buy a dually at a wrecking yard in Alabama that came from a motor home...has disc brakes.
Just got married to the most beautiful bride in all of Chattanooga last weekend and just returned from our honeymoon yesterday from Cabo. So life is good in that department. My son, Arron, 12 follows my footsteps in the garage and is MIG welding quite well and loves to tear things up with the plasma cutter. He enjoys building bicycles and small sculptures. I invite folks to check out my youtube channel by searching: microlifemike You will find some videos of my projects.
I invite anyone here to communicate with me, my email and website should be posted in my profile. Looking forward to making some friends and learning some more stuff here.
Thanks,
Michael Brandt
