[imthegrt1]

so here we go in a couple weeks we will begin 2 builds me and my boys 14 and 12.
these will be budget build trucks and our goal is 2500.00 each one
these builds will be rat rods that the avenage person can afford and build.
with a goal of 6 months to build both.been aabout 4 years since built a ratrod.
been waiting fo rthe right time. im looking to all of youu for advise and knowledge.motors will be simple and frames ive post a tread already on.
There will be no 500 hp motors or no new mustang front end set ups this build will be to inspire other builders that a rat rod can be built with a couple pay checks....seen it and have done a few.
i figure that a truck will be the way to go with this
here is the list ive wrote done just to go by
1.truck cab 500.00 range
2.title work 300.00
3.frame-300.00
4.motor and tranny -500.00

First off your a great dad! What an adventure you have ahead of you. Almost can imagine the stories that your boys will have at school. Very cool.

Look forward to the builds.

nice

father/son truck build[cl

enjoy it, the time spent doing that is precious and irreplaceable.

0H by the way, add about a grand or so to the $$ part, it never seems like a project comes out "finished" on time or on budget.

Later
