Thread: My 15 week rat rod build or bust.....

Tweet

Hey everyone I am new here, I have been watch this forum for a month now. I got the chance to do a complete 28-31 Ford Sedan build. So I thought, what the hell? Here is the story. I have had several cars in the past that were "show car's", one cost me 10 times what this car will....and it was a 89 VW! Show cars are fun, yes. But you never really get to use a real show car. And I will be just fine if I never have to trailer a car ever agin.

So the idea of a $3.000.00 cap on a build for a runing, steering, and stoping rat. On top of that we are planning on driving the car to the Back to the 50's in 17 weeks! After some screwing around on the net I found this guy Dan, He has 100's of 30's to 60's projects in his yard. So I talked with him a few times and went to see him today. What a nice guy, he helped us find one of everything we were looking for.
So when the day was done we had loaded a Sedan on the trailer with a few other little parts to start the build. Funny thing is, I don't remember what year he said this thing was? Not that it matters. So of the 3 g's I want to stay under......I spent 1900 today. LOL I have no idea how I am going to pull this off.

So I am going to do a pic by pic build of this car. Some of you might like it and some of you might not. I want to stay true to the rat rod theme, but safty plays the biggest roll. Love it or hate it!?! It will be built right here infront of you guys.

On with the pics!!!
