Oh man. I'm having a serious ADD flare-up. I'm trying to concentrate on getting the falcon painted so I can clear out the garage and start on the rat rod. Buuuut... I keep coming across other stuff I want to build. The rat rod is what I really want to be doing right now but I'm getting really tempted to do something like this (plus headlights and hood, of course):

My other thought is ditch the front clip, narrow the cab, shorten the bed, build a frame for it and build it into a rat rod truck with an open engine and solid front axle...

It is a stock 302 with a 2 barrel carb. Broader Performace c4 transmisson. Rear end is a 8inch ford rearend with 3.25 gears. I love this car.

My 86 4runner on 36's... what a pile that was.

1963 Mercury Monterey. 390 big block baby. paid 400 bucks for it.

Future Project thats in storage, 1963 VW Single Cab

That Maverick is super clean. It looks like a manual brake manual steering car.

Those VWs are too cool. I would love to have that 63 VW truck. I still have a 70 baja, but have owned many bugs over the years. I had a 71 lowered Super that I drove all over the eastern US in the 80s. I put 40,000 miles on that car in a year. They are awesome cars.

Yea its clean on the outside but the inside is not haha. The front and rear seat are covered in blankets so that they do not look that ugly and it has no carpet or headliner (makes it a little hard to talk to people while driving haha) And yea it is a manual brake and manual steering car.
