New all the way around...From texas

[CCROCHET]

Just picked up a 1950 Ford F-1 last night. Needs a little TLC but it was a perfect start for my rat rod project. I plan to keep the body as is for now. It has a 351 Windsor in it currently but has been disassemble. Plans are to get the motor running and rebuilt and and focus on suspension and and all the other main problems. Not a alot of rust except for the bed. The cab is literally rust free except for a lil spot on the cowl. I have all the body panels and 2 spare hoods and a spare fender.

Sorry for the crappy phone pics. Will get more when I pick up the truck this weekend and move it to the ranch for the start of the project....

[CCROCHET]

not quite sure where I want to go with it yet. Main thing is get it running and road worthy. then figure out where to go....But this forum has given me crazy ideas and will def help me in my decision making....

Also does anyone in houston area have a car trailer I can borrow to get this thing home? I was going to just do a u haul flatbed but thought it was worth a shot to see if anyone had anything on here....
