This is the start of this project, 1931 Ford model A pickup, the body will remain rust, while all of the suspension, frame, and engine will be detailed with show winning standards.
frame will be Custom built, as well as all suspension and steering.
The plan is to have the frame and rolling chassis done to attend autofest This year.

Uh oh, I get the feeling I'm stealing someone else's idea unknowingly?
Not at all !! It just does resemble Cat's build. No such thing as stealing someone's idea because other than the basic shape, you car will be different in a thousand other different ways.
I think they mean it looks familiar because they saw me selling it at ancaster. I traded FYN RYD the body. And it looks like we are both happy with the deal
Very happy newagerod, I will definitely make it into something cool.
I am yet to see a rat rod that has a meticulously built, and painted frame and components.
So that is my plan.
We build show cars for people where perfect body is key, this is a nice change.
Thanks again.

It will be raked, just a bit though.
I will be fabbing a roof for it to replicate original, and the truck will be bagged as well so it will lay down fully at shows.
I also cut another 1.5 inches out of windows since these pics so now we are at a 6.5" roof chop.
Need a front axle still, hopefully I can get one at Barrie this weekend.

Thank you, it is easier than people think to make welds look good. This was done with mig welder. I did offer welding training a few years ago at our shop but we didn't have many responses so we decided to stop.
If you have an questions let me know.
Thanks.

Thanks gazing, I'll definitely keep posting updates as I make progress.
I never get much time to work on my own vehicles as we always have lots of work to so on customers vehicles.
But I try to find time.
