Thanks Doug, Pat's gonna give me a hand with the pics,It's just a primered hot rod nothing fancy.I have so much fun driving it and all the thumbs up! I drive it two or three times a week to work It's a blast to drive cause it doesn't weigh much.

Welcome to the hood. Pic's, and bring it to the Bash with Pat and your Dad

I'm glad my brother made it over here. Here's a couple shots of his truck at work this past week. Since he put plates on it, he's been driving the wheels off it. I see it in the parking lot at work almost everyday now. It was a neat little project we had going on at my Dad's garage. I'm so happy for my brother that he has it on the road. He's a hard working guy, with 4 kids now, and gave up his lunch money to get this on the road. I love ya bro!

Some Rat Rods are cool, some just look plain stupid... This one has the look of

Thanks Doug. I think he'll eventually paint it, but he's in no rush. Here are two of my favorite of the many pics we took during the build. The first one is when I took it out of his garage, to bring it down to my Dad's garage. That's a photo of 50 years of Ford Truck 47-97. The second one was when we set the 472 down for the first time, so I could mock up the engine mounts and weld them in.

That 1st pic is indeed cool...
