Locked up!

Laid out.

Then we Z'ed the frame 4 1/2" & shaved the bottom off to lay body.

With the hood back on at a car show.

Nice work man!!! I love old iron especially laid out like that Will it every go away from "rat rod" status or will is that the theme it's stuck with?

How long have you been in business doing work like this?

Thanks, I've been doing this kind work for over 20 years. I just opend my shop almost four years ago.

The 65 is gonna stay rat rod, I've tried talking the guy into painting it but he likes the rust.

You, sir, have just blown my mind!!! I guess to each their own in that department but nonetheless that truck looks killer in the weeds. I need to ship my '77 to you so that you can get it sitting right. That's one of the last things I need to do to it is get it's stance right.
