I have to say that the Tailgate is going to look great is satin black and red. Project looks good. Keep posting pics.

 

[Neverdone]

Who did the tailgate??? That is pretty awesome!!

I have a ford 250 straight six in my dodge and it will move it along pretty well. Must say I do like the bullet theme as well [cl

Keep up the good work hopefully you can get it on the road this year [ [P

what year is that handle? I have 2 1948 Ford for handles left over from my last car, which was a 1948 Ford coupe. Cant remember if they were door handles or roll up handles. I saw them in a pile not long ago as I was searching for sumpin else

Its off a 1934 dodge pickup not sure there are other yrs and make that might work,The Window crank looks like the door handle but has the wooden ball on the end.

Cool Ride

Hey RRGirl
Like everyone else, I'm diggin your ride. In my opinion, the unusual, creative stuff is what makes a cool ratrod. You have great "old school" taste. Keep on keepin on!

Other choices might be chicken wire, or heavy screen.
