The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Needed: magician to make shortbed out of longbed..

Hey spares, You hit the nail on the head. My wife can't wait to see my neat old truck when it's done and doesn't care what I decide to do to it along the way. All my friends like trendy junk like "slammed" or "dropped" rat rods with mail order engines and drivetrains from newer passenger cars that have painted on petina or custom oxidized rust holes. I just want my truck to look like I like it and stay that way for a long time. My 1990 chevy van is flat black because it hides my dings. That's as close to a rat rod as I want to get. Oh, I had to get rid of my chain link steering wheel because my guitar instructor says it leads to carpel tunnel. That was a real 1970s grant too so I don't lump that in with the new rat rod repops anyway.
