45 chevy build
Here is a shot of my current project, a 45 chevy P/U rat truck. Although I don't like the word rat rod, I prefere to call it a hot rod like the one we would have built back in my younger days when we didn't have any money but a lot of junk yards a readily available parts to let your imagination run wild. Built right, strong, safely and fast! Using a 45 Chevy truck cab, hand built chassis, 20" kick-up in the rear, 3" kick-up in the front. 9" ford rear, 400 Th spun by a 425 c.i. Caddy mill, 32 Ford front axle w/37 Ford spindles sitting on spring-behind suicide. Vega box w/ cross steering, ModelA grill shell. Building the floor now and engine is up and puring like a kitten. Yes, thats a 15 gal beer keg for gas tank:my 1945 Rat.jpg
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
