New to Rat Rodding

[rudyrodder]

My wife bought me a rough ol 52 Ford F1. Been sitting for years, lots o rust in this truck. Have been working on hot / street rods for years. Even started a street rod shop years ago called Louisville Rods & Customs. Partner problems ended that! Really have not recovered from that venture.

Any way, never have rat rodded anything, looks like it would be fun. Browsing the web for ideas. Have 9" , 351w roundy round motor, misc gauges, bucket seats, top loader w/blow proof, etc. Just need where to start with frame.

I live in Palmyra, In. area. Am 50+, work in HVAC field with a friend of mine (his company) both love building cars / trucks.

Will keep coming back to your sight. Look forward to all of your ideas.

SURE AM TIRED OF THIS *%^@# SNOW !

Again thanks and stay warm.
