Here is one in my area that is similar.
He has done some paint work since these pics. These were taken at the world of wheels in Indy.




Sorry--didnt aim to high jack your thread. Can delete if anyone is offended

By the way you have an awesome build going. I love those old binders especially since I have worked for IH for around 20 years
 
Hey...No offense here. Thats one kool Rat Rod! Gives me more inspiration. Thanks on the comments. RR:D
 
O.....Kay. Heres the newest advances in the big n bad 54 IH! Mr Gussetts been going wild so any tech questions should be asked to him as hes the fab guy. The idea is a invisible frame! Yes i-n-v-i-s-i-b-l-e!!! Starts with the frame under the cab and a front type halo and then he adds the pieces up the front of cowl and then we start gettin the motor installed. Its gonna be awesome and Im in heaven. Lots of pics so here we go.[P:D
