I got to say, just by reading some threads, and the great POSITIVE responses that are shared I'm going to love this site. I spent a LOT of time on a.....different site doing research for my build, but was hesitant to start a thread. Well you guys get the honors!
A little about me......
I'm 28, married and about a year ago decided I wanted to be a fulltime student again. That being said I love cars, things that go fast, racing and most of all custom fabrication. I work in the steel industry and have been around welding and steel for a long time. I have motor oil in my veins thanks to my grandpa (R.I.P.) when he had me wrenching on is rods starting from the time I could walk.
My grandpa inspired my soon to be build, he left this world a couple months ago, and all the memories he impressed upon me have led to the rat I'll be building in his memory........
It's be a b@$t@rd rat at that, it's a 52' Chevy cab, custom chassis, and I'm going to try my hand at a custom mustang II front end.........with a Ford power plant, strictly because it was free.....and a built 9" from a jeep project I never used it on………Remember, I’m a MARRIED COLLEGE STUDENT……..financial funds are slim if ever directed to the “rat fund”. So I’ll be getting VERY creative on this build.
Until that thread starts.......(probably this weekend) IronFreak out.
