i just want everyone to keep there eyes out for an older tbucket frame/steel body, or any 20's-30's car or truck, i am wanting to build a rat rod, and just trying to find a body and frame to start

For a rat rod motor wise look for an old flat head.

I'll keep my eyes open for both for ya

actually i have a flathead allready

its a 50 flathead with a 3speed tranny with overdrive, i also have a SBC that i need to rebuild, but the flathead i would just throw back togeather and run it i took it apart, but stoped at the cam and crank so it wouldnt be hard to throw togeather


edit i want this to be as cheep as possible !! to keep it a rat rod

Cool no rat rod is complete without a flat head.

correct, and im gonna do the custom beer can air cleaner and the beer bottle overflow lol , keg gas tank, the works... if i ever get a frame and body to start, getten back into hot rods again, and i miss working on my 51 so i want to start a project so i can get one and drive it while i work on my ford

plus it would give me a chance to pratice my custom pinstriping on something, i just really want to throw something togeather so i can drive it

for those who dont know what a flathead is
