Im bigdave and I live in indiana, I have had an idea to build a rat rod for about a year now. Have thrown around ideas and such, but want advice from other people, I would like to build this as cheap as possible.
I want my engine to be an old ford I6
Body doesnt matter whatever i can get for cheap and something i can chop and cut to make it what i like.
Frame is of course something i am thinking about making or if i could buy one for cheap.
I have got this idea stuck in my head that i want the gas tank to be an old keg.
Whatever advice you have or anything that can help me along the way would be greatly appreciated.

You can use a old keg but don't forget to vent it somehow or maybe a vented cap. As far as the frame goes you really need a cab / body to decide on that part of the build. JMO

I would like a body like a tbucket or a model t

Cole makes a good point that the first thing to get is the body/cab. Heck whatever you find may all ready have a use able frame under it.

If you find one being sold with a title......It will save you many headaches later with the DMV.

Id start there

Just got a 1965 F100 frame for free and plan to chop and cut it to my needs.

There's a learning experiance.
You can build a bucket or buy one from someone like speedway or someone else out there also. JMO
