I just bought a 27 Ford Tudor to make into a rat/hot rod. I think I have someone to make me a z'd frame but I may also need some help bagging the rear and building a suicide mount for the front. I don't have the welding skills to do it right. Anyone in the Spokane area willing to do that? I'd be...
My 1966 Buick Skylark is
