There is a Ford in the Truck trader this month that some one built useing a ford cab and building the front end. Seeing this has got me to thinking agin. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 914 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 914 | People make bodies and frames when making
replica looking hot rods. Thing is they have
the equipment and knowledge to take sheet
steel and C channels and turn them into a
frame and car body, fenders, running boards.
Problem is people can learn how to make things
much easier then afford the tools, equipment
and machinery needed to do the work.
