Hey Guys....Just introducing myself to the forum members as a newbe here....Been interested in rat rods for smoe time. Haven't built one yet, but getting ready to clear out the shop and start a new project. Looking for some good info and tips and this seems to be the place to get it. I have been more into cycles than anything for as long as I can remember and love working on Shovels...I'm a senior member at a Shovel site and feel like i'm cheating, but need some good info on rods so.......

Look forward to talking with you and asking questions...

Thanks!

I'm thinking something along these lines, '29 Ford Fordor or Panel side. Need a long enough body to accomodate 2 jump seats for the kids, as I plan to make it a spring, summer, fall daily driver. Prolly run a 289 w/ Offy D/Q intake for the mill and back it with a t-5 for highway speeds. Although a buddy has a Desoto Hemi with factory Isky cam that sure would work nice! But.....as with all my projects i've started, they rarely turn out like planned. I love middle of the road changes...
