got another project......rat rod!!!

its a 29 ford tudor sedan super nice solid body only 2 small rust holes in the whole thing! i got a hell of a deal on it i couldn't pass up.i'll be collecting parts for a while, how does a bbc with a tunnel ram an 2 4's sound,and a muncie 4 speed. i'm not sure if i want to go for the gasser look or just the old weathered hot rod look. i know the pics are shitty but you get the idea.

an aftermarket a model or 32 frame.i can get a 2x4 square tubing model a frame for a little over $500,and i can get it up to 11 inches longer for no extra cost, or just 2 32 ford frame rails for $600 and then still have to box it in and build the frame basically.its looking like the aftermarket model a frame right now and add an x brace.

this is the car that made me want to do a tudor sedan,i remember seeing it in hot rod or something several years ago and it has always stuck in my head. it is chopped 7 inches and it looks bad ass but the car is damn near useless,you have to turn your drink sideways to get it through the window if you go through the drive through. i'm gonna stick with 3 or 4 inches.



and all of you haters on the chevy mota can get bent.it dosent matter what motor is in it as long as its cool! at least i'm not putting a me too 350 in it!

the definition of a hot rod is a little car with a big motor bbc+ model a = cool!
