School Project!

[50Ford]

Hey everyone, Im in 10th grade and I had 7 weeks to do a personal project at school so i decided to make a rat rod truck frame of course. My goal is to get it rolling before school is up and im running out of time, i only have 10 days of school left. The cab i plan on useing is a 51 Ford F-1 thant i have in my backyard. Any comments or feedback i would appreciate alot. Also i love flathead v8's so i am planning on useing one.

And more!

this was before i cleaned up the front end a little bit. The rearend is from a 50 ford f-1 that had a flathead v8 and the front end is off of a 46 ford car that also had a flatty v8. Ill go and get some pictures of the cab. I have a 8 mega pixel camera but i cant get the usb to hook up right for some reason so alot of these pictures are with my phone which is only 2mp so sorry if there blurry or fuzzy.

Some more of the front end and cab.

the cab looks weird because of the dent on top but when i pound it out it should be better.
