I have been off the radar for a while. LOTS has been done to the 37, but I have had two digital camera's dissapear in one year (STOLEN) so I need to get another and try and back track some of my progress. I think ya'll be pleasantly surprised. I'M BACK, -Tyson P.S. **** KILLBILLET

Here's my Model A Commercial Shell mocked up with my radiator. I like it; it looks much better than my 32 Shell on there. I'll save the 32 one for another project.

Hey guys. I am starting to look at tire options for my build. I have a set of old Chrysler steelies that I am going to use on all four corners. I found a set for the fronts that I am going to buy, but for the rear I wanted to use a Cheater Slick/Dirt Track tire. I found these tires through...

Would it be safe to say that this grille is a 27 Model T style shell? Thanks, Tyson

Hey guys, I didn't have much to do the other night, so I made this dog bed out of an old slick that I got from Pacific Raceway over the summer. This is my dog I got a couple of weeks ago. He is a Mastiff/Pit/Great Dane mix. He's 13 weeks, 35 lbs, and gets bigger by the day. His name's Charlie.

I am very glad Summer is over. Anyone of you can call me crazy, but when the weather is crappy the productivity starts. I live in rainy-ass western washington and I maybe spent 4 weeks working on my truck since the beginning of June :eek:. We had a two week period of crap weather in late...

Hey guys, I started a build thread a long time ago, but I haven't added to it since last year so its scrapped. Here's the official one. Thanks to SleepyJake for motivating me to start it here. I have one on KillBilly, but other than DMW56 and Rusted&Busted I am not getting much support over...

I have heard from several rod builders that 2 link rear set up's aren't the way to go, which I can understand to some degree, a 4 Link would be preffered. But whats the real problem with a 2 Link set up? If you ran a 2 Link with a Pan Hard bar and Coil Over shocks -- wouldn't that be enough for...

Hey guys, my uncle started his build over the winter. He's dropping the SBC powered drivetrain as soon as he drives out and gets the converter and flexplate for the Powerglide he got from an old Impala we had...

I can guarantee that this has been covered, but I am too lazy to do a search. Out of the blue I mapped it out and its an 11 hour drive to the Salt Flats from here, which I figured that it would be MUCH further. Its very important that I go see this in my life, if not run the Ford one day...

Who runs a top loader in their 30's-40's rat? I could get a deal on a GM SM465, but it seems like a really bulky unit for me, since I have a 6 inch chop and my channel will be close to 6 inches as well. Pros? Cons? Can I get your guy's thougts before I go see it and spend some dough. I...

Hey guys, I have never chopped a top before, much less rake a windshield back (for a salt-flat look). Its a 37 Ford Chopped 6 inches. My windshield will be about 8 1/2" tall, the door windows will be 8" tall, and I will have an approximate 3" mail slot in the back. I have 23 hours into the chop...

I picked up the new Rebel Rodz mag today and saw the 31 Chrysler Imperial built by Mike Shepard. Anyone seen it? The right hand steer is different, and the overall look of the car is awesome. 327 with 3 deuces. Grab the new issue, that car is worth the five bucks.

I have been wondering this for a couple of months, but now its getting to the time where my chop job will be done soon and it will be time to get some primer and paint. Of course rust has been an issue on this old tin, and I want to nip it in the ass for good. Has anyone painted POR 15 (rust...

I got my frame into the shop over the weekend and got it propped up on stands. Now, hear me out, I am using a (FREE) 77 Chevy 1 ton 4x4 frame. I chopped the front off of it, turned it around, then flipped it over. So now, its upside down, and the back of the modified frame is the front, and...

I saw Project40's thread on his XS 400, so I am posting some pics for everyone to take a look at. My bike looked exactly like Project40's when I drug mine home. I ripped off the cheesy seat and ugly handle bars, then cut off the remaining part of the frame over the rear tire that I felt wasn't...

I was looking through the for sale section when I saw RODMAN58's 38 Ford truck for sale, and I noticed a remarkable resemblence to what I thought was my 39 Chevy truck cab. http://ratrodsrule.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9932&d=1197756283 The body lines are different, but what set me...

Here are some pics of the car I just sold (hopefully). I saved it from the crusher when my bro-in-law's uncle had the county cracking down on his property that had too many unregistered vehicles. It's a cool car, but with 5 other projects before it, I figured it may go to a better home than I...

Hey all, Just introducing myself. I started building my 39 Chevy pick up late this summer and now, with all of the pieces acquired, its time to start putting her together. She will be built with spare parts I have laying around basically. Drivetrain: Chrysler (318/904/ and 8 3/4 rear)...
