New here from Mid Tn.

[Drewski]

Thought I'd introduce myself. Been playing with cars and motorcycles a long time. I've got a bad habit of cutting them up and changing them once I get them. I don't know that what I'm building is what you would call a rat rod, but it certainly is not what the purist like to see either. I enjoy building with what I have or can scrounge up. I'll buy new only when I can't fabricate it or availability dictates it.

Present build is a 55 F100 Ford. I've owned it for quite a while, but other projects have always kept this one on the back burner.

Photo as I got it originally.

Most recent photo.

Hope we have some F100 builders on this site.

Welcome to RRR!

Well, mine's a 63, but it's a F100. How'd you deal with the windshield on that chop?

I don't have the windshield cut yet, but the angles on the "A" posts have not been altered. I quartered the roof to line everything back up. There won't be much windshield left after the part I don't need is removed. I'm going to take a shot at cutting the windshield myself. After I break 2 I'll turn it over to a pro.

Thanks for the welcome

Welcome to RRR I'd say you're in the majority with an F100.

Thanks to all for the welcome....

And yes I do have build pictures, but unfortunately some of the custom work was done bdc (before digital cameras) and I don't think I did a lot of 35mm shots of my build. I did film the top chop on vhs tape, but we're still looking for it. I try to keep a camera in the garage now and document anything new that I do. Build pictures will be forthcoming once I figure out the proper place to put them.
