I just want to introduce myself. I am a car nut, to the most extreme. I own a custom cabinet shop in north arkansas, the second I get off work I start on whatever project I have going. I just finished my 69 mustang fastback, which is awesome, but Im a truck guy. I have had a 55 1st series chevy 1/2 ton for a few years and I figured that would be my next project. Then I found this 47 dodge 1/2 ton and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to build a rat rod. I started to chop the top last Saturday and hope to finish it up in the morning. I went 5" in the rear, 3" in the back glass, 2" below, and 5 1/2" up front. I hope to post some pics tomorrow. I also have a 49' suburban, 72' blazer that are "somedays" projects.
