    The 26 and the 53

    Guess I should start a build thread. I've got a 1953 dodge pickup I've owned for 8 years or so. I drove the truck with the flathead the day I got it up until about three years ago when I yanked the flathead and pursued putting a 318 in the truck. As of now the engine is nearly done. Been put on...

    budget frame build

    frame decisions Could one possible do this to a newer frame? I've got a datsun/toyota chassis that I would like to use. I picked up a wishbone front end too. Just not sure what to do now. The car fits almost perfect on the frame.

    cramped Well I took a minute to sit in the old sedan and now I realize that I may have to seal the back doors. I'm 6'4" so sitting in the original seat area is not going to work.

    Wishbone I was lucky enough to pick up 1935 ford wishbone front axle for 150 dollars. I read a thread on here about a guy cutting the front off the same style chassis I have and adapting the wishbone to it. Hopefully I can start mocking up a frame for my rat this year.
