Absolutely, mine is good to go. Just fling some wrenches and we can go for a rip.

Hi gyman I've been following your build for a while, that sure is some drive and fabrication skills you have. I was wondering if you might want to sell your old parts or are you going to repurpose them with your fabrication skills. Thanks Wayne

Thanks for the kind words Wayne, I appreciate the compliments. I have sold quite a few of the parts but still have the old box sides and tailgate left

I was wondering about the t/c, rims, and the like

It was a real basket case when I bought it, the previous owner had hacked it up into a rat rod so it didn't come with any of the original rims or power train

Yeah, those rat rod types are real comedians. Some are tastefully done, but I have seen some halfhearted efforts.

This guy was the jerry Seinfeld of rat rod builders. The workmanship was just atrocious that's why it turned into a full frame up rotisserie build

Well life has been busy and haven't had much time in the last month to make any progress but still squeezed a few small things in. Also picked up the epoxy paint and primer. Fit the Vintage air unit in, made some wooden shifter knobs and my daughter and I made a steering column support. Console cup holders also arrived

Started working on making new box sides and front, making pretty good progress. Should have the passenger box side done tomorrow.
