my '49 Ford
So, akaFrankCastle has informed me that I need to put my rat rod I'm building on. Not sure if this is the correct place to put it, but here it is. Its a '49 Ford truck, chopped 3-1/2" and the body is sectioned 7". I built the frame with 2x4x.188, Z'd 12" front and 15" rear. Has a 9" out of a Granada (spelling?). 351 cleveland/ FMX trans.'35 truck grill. I fabbed the bed sides/ floor boards and some of the interior panels with a home made bead roller. Let me know what you think.

Re: my '49 Ford
Here is some tin work, done with my home-made beadroller & dies. This is the door panel insert and the dash piece.
