That guy used to write for the lame Rat Rod Magazine.
$1,500, don't try this at home kids! [ddd

The magazine is based on Minnesota, where I am. I happen to like it and have met some of the guys associated with the mag. The photography is very good. While I don't build true rat rods with the popular accessories I do enjoy looking at them and garnering ideas for future builds.
Just remember, what is "lame" in your opinion might not be in another's person's. Undead Sleds is a big tent and welcomes car guys with a variety of tastes in hot rods.
Most of those bodies in the pictures would cost $1500 around here. Maybe not the truck cab?
Not saying it can't be done, but odds are, to do it safe in 2017 it's gonna cost you more like $3000. They're just sellin' a dream.
I was on track to do it with my 39, until i started finding cool stuff on CL and eBay.
Man, sounds sketchy!
I'll be here.Depending on what cars I get rid of this summer and if I complete the current projects, I'll build a steel slant 6/4 peed roadster this winter for $1,500. You all can come along.

On a typical low budget project I usually spend about $1,000 buying small parts at NAPA or some other parts store. But most of that stuff can be found at swap meets or the bone yard for a lot less money. Spark plugs, tune up parts, belts are the kind of parts people throw at their cars in desperate attempt to save them. Then they junk the car. I look for those hardly used parts. People install new brakes, then the engine goes out. You, Willowbilly, of all people, knows there's great finds out there that are overlooked by most people.
