The "rat rod" idea sounds kind of like what I'm going for in my '61. It's my first project, I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm a hands-on type. So, outside of coaching and mentoring, I want to do the work myself. It probably won't look as nice, definitely won't be as fancy, but it'll be mine. I want the smile on my face to come not only because she has "style" but also because I earned every scraped knuckle, bruised joint, sanded finger tip, and bump on the head that went with getting her and keeping her on the road.
Had an opportunity to buy a cherried-out '57 chevy stepside a couple of months ago. Paint was gorgeous, drove like a dream, but I knew I'd have more fun and satisfaction fixing my own than buying one already done.
Okay, I'm off my soap box. It's a great truck, Ray. When mine is ready to hit I-15, maybe we'll cruise up and say "hi."
