Well I been busy helping my son with his new Hot rod.... We picked this truck up a few weeks back now... Been really knocking it out.... It was chopped by someone else,, And needed a lot of reworking... Had a frame under it... I really wanted to do my own for him... So we gave the rolling frame to Iron Man Joe,,, And gave the ford motor to another friend for him to start building him something... Gave the bed to another friend... So I guess we started out with just the cab... :thumbup:

Here's a few shot before we even got started on it... :mwink:

now it's starting to come together.. :D

On this build we wanted to use the ''KISS'' way of thinking... ''KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID''... :thumbup:

We didn't want to spend a lot of time and money on it... But wanted to build it Safe and cool all in one... :thumbup:

And by all means.... NO RAT ROD !!!!!! :spank:

What are his plans?
He's not sure yet on a color, But for now it will be flat black with white wall and red wheels with baby moons... Maybe a tunnel ram later and maybe a bigger motor..We will see when we get to that point... He is really on fire right now for this truck... And want's to help on this one... :thumbup:

He is making me so proud right now... I can't wait until we can go ride together to a show...I waited for this day a long time.. ;)

Coming along right nicely! :cool:

Casey, welcome aboard! You're a lucky young man to have an Ol' Man w/some mad skilz, and he's just as lucky to have a son who shares interest in hotrods- so kudos to you both.

Any ideas yet on color? Wheels? And I thought for a minute I needed to see the eye doc- that green valve covered SBF morphed into an orange SBC! So... what's it gonna be for powering it?

Thanks for the kind words.. ;)
He will be on here later, He's still in school..Believe me he want's to be here on his truck,,,

He didn't say a color yet, But it will be in black primer for now with some white walls and red wheels with some baby moons..... I like the way he's thinking for now... :thumbup:

As far as the ford,,We can deal with a ford body, But that's as far away from Chevy we will go... :mwink: It will be Chevy powered.... Sorry Centerline !!! :D It isn't going to happen.. :mwink:

He wanted to take my big block out my c-cab.... Hold on a Min son !!!!! :spank:

I helped out a friend that want's to build something... I gave him the ford motor and trans... Catch y'all later... I'm off to the doctor..
