Greetings From Tucson

[Bowtiestang]

Hello all,

My name is Robert and from Tucson AZ or as I like to call it North Mexico

I just sold my Mustang drag car roller and plan on putting the power train in my new rat rod. The Stang ran a best of 10.97@124 at a DA of 2800' so she should run well in a rod.

Here is the old toy..RIP

Here is my 1947 Reo..

And the plan is maybe something like these Photoshops[S

Tucson is the cool car capital of Baja Az. Maybe all of AZ. Took a long time for someone from there to make it to this board tho. Make yourself at home and contribute often.

Welcome to the site. Hope to see your truck on the street. I too am working on an old ford truck cab (1952 coe) but with 2 boys in college and 1 still in high school, it may take me a little while before I get to finish it.
Again welcome to the site
