Thread: 65 Ranchero Frame Project.

Well Finally welded the front part of the frame together yesterday.
Just basically boxed it, Got a 3in. drop under the cab from the front end.
The back end comes up 10in. from the center cab section.
I have not attached the back yet,this way I can move it a little more easy.
I moved every thing outside in pieces yesterday, and worked on it all day.
See I don't weld in my wooden shop as not to burn it down.
Well at the end of the day I got a supprise, I thought I was gonna move it back in to the shop by my self, WRONG!!!!
That 10 gage 2X3 is a little heavier then I thought it was.
Had to go get a buddy to help me move it back into the shop, and that was all I could handle. Next time I move it, I'm gonne setup the mock engine and trany, to get the mounts lined up where they need to be.
And I think I'll get three extra guys next time to move it.

How about putting some wheels on your cart?

The Ford 9in ain't done yet, gotta be narrowed.
And still have the front end parts to buy yet
But wheels would be nice, HE! HE!

If you have a little larceny in your heart, shopping carts have some decent wheels for this sort of thing.

Round here if you get the shoping cart off the property.
The wheels lock up, some other thief's ruined it for me.
Dang it!!!!
