I suppose my first post could fall into three forum categories… Please Introduce Yourself, Muscle cars, and Need help identifying an item. I live about 12 miles north of Seattle and have always loved building and restoring cars. I do mostly all my own work and I’ve mainly stuck to 60’s muscle cars. My last few were ’67 Mustang Fastback, ’65 Factory Five Cobra Kit car (with '04 Mustang Mach 1 engine, trans, & suspension) and my current project, ’65 Corvette Coupe Restomod. The ’65 Vette has a SRIII frame with C5 Z06 suspension & brakes, and LS2 crate engine with 4L65E trans. I’m almost three years into the project and it just went off to paint (Black) last week. Hope to get it back in June and finish up by mid-July. Here’s a pic of my Cobra and Vette…
I hadn’t really been all that interested in Rat Rods until I saw a couple trucks online that I absolutely fell in love with. They just look like beautiful works of art to me. I don’t even have any idea of their make or year. I know nothing, and I mean nothing about Rat Rods. However, as soon as I saw those trucks, I knew I had to build one as soon as my Vette was done this summer. I’m not really sure where to start other than poking around the forum. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. These are the two trucks that got me hooked…
I'm leaning more toward the second truck because I love how the front windshield opens at the bottom. Both have a great front grill. Anyone know the make and year? Between now and the time my Vette is done in July (hopefully), I plan to research and narrow my search to the model and year I want to build. If I get lucky, I will even have bought a solid truck just waiting to be reborn. We’ll see …travis
