1937 GMC RAT ROD BUILDUP

[assface01]

Looks good but the back needs to be wider and have some fat tires in the back

[666makasin]

how long did you build thats monster?

[HeroSavage]

Looks terrible, sorry dude it just looks like shit.

[scodecity]

looks good mate ...its a great video as well F#*k on all these computer shit talking assholes.all just sad thay can not do this them selves and have to go out and buy one and spend up to 10 ,15 ,25 grand on some crap!! GET A CLUE>GIVE RESPECT WHEN ITS DUE !!!FINE JOB MATE..

[SuperKONR]

I love this thing!!! I would get a wider rear end though, looks kinda funky. I love the streched look of the fron end, glad to see someone using a good ol 6 cylinder

[UnfoundWay]

Hell yes! No stupid computer controlled electronic roll litigation. No traction control. No nav system. No computer controlled climate. No park assist. In fact, no anything that allows for a total idiot to be able to drive. Apart from that, no external plastic crap that is being passed as automotive fashion, like fender panels, ground effects, bumpers, and skirts. Automakers need to take a clue from you. No everyone wants to drive a computer with a cheap plastic body on it. New cars suck!

[1956Simbo]

A lot of work.Congrats!!Well done man.

[shashelasse]

when i have the money, when i have the time and when i live in the good ol' States it'll happen

[JohnnyDesaint]

DONT YOU HATE WHEN YOU GO TO A CONCERT OR SOMETHING AND EVERYBODY THERE IS HAVING A GOOD TIME BUT THERE IS ONE FUCKER THERE SQUEEZING LEMONS.WHY GO IF HE DOESNT LIKE THE BAND.OR WHEN THE WIFE MAKES FUN OF A GIRL THAT IS YOUNGER AND BETTER LOOKIN.THATS BRINGS ME TO ALL THESE ASSHOLES HERE TALKING SHIT ABOUT SOMEBODY FOR BEING MORE CREATIVE AND IS NOT SITTIN ON THE FAT ASS ALL DAY.I HAVE ONE WORD FOR YOU WHY DID YOU WATCH THE VIDEO IF YOU DONT LIKE THIS TYPE OF THING?YOU SHOULD BE TAKIN NOTES!

[13creature13]

Great job. Looks good

[stratospro1]

i dont see why everyone has to be an asshole that car is sweet he built it if you dont have anything good to say shut the fuck up?

[speck444]

nothin rat about that rod nice job as far as politics gos there aint a lick of difference between the two partys again great skills

[TeeEye84Plus]

I hate the rat rod look! Really cheap looking

[612to303]

Holy shit I would eat off that garage floor its so clean! You should see mine, all three stalls are polka dots from oil dripping.

[JDMMookie]

Peop[le are seriously dogging on you for how green your lawn and hor clean your Garage is??????

god this rod whole thing is becoming too much of a fad. sceneboy idiots

nice car btw

[EnjukuRacing70]

WTFuck, why does it matter if the garage is clean? maybe he just moved there or all the other shit is on the other side of the garage. you dont have to be a hick to have nice old ratrods or hotrods. and you can be rich and still work, get your hands dirty and all that other shit. stfu and leave the guy alone. i pitty assholes that cant back up there shit. what do you got? a yaris?

[Opeysan]

OH SORRY AND.... I LOVE the harnesses and roll bar. Very cool. Safety is a must even when driving rust!

[Opeysan]

Wow,so you build a ride at your place and half the remarks are on your CLEAN shop?! LOL AMERICA we love to hate eachother.lol. Not my style of ride but good job,defenitaly my style of shop though. Neat,organized,and tool finder friendly LIKE A REAL SHOP is suppose to be. lol Gave your haterz something to suck on lol

[Dulein]

Wow thanks for the slide show.Amazing how much work goes into building one of these bad boys.Very nice job.i have to admit I envy your work space.My shop is a dark cluttered garage. You are a master craftsman. Beautiful ride.

[505197]

I too noticed the super clean shop and came to the conclusion it had just been finished. I also noticed how it became more and more cluttered as the project went on. I also noticed you are damn good at sheetmetal fab and fab in general. Nice job, and that's a fine lookin boy you have there.

[saludahead]

I like the way you did the motor mounts too. Those old 235 engines love motorcycle carbs, especially those old Klein Constant Velocity carbs you used to find on early Hondas. Measure your port, and match it up to the carbs. Replacement units for big twins and singles are the best way to go!

Three Corvair carbs, on a manifold like you built works really, really well, too! Remember to put in a balance tube, or you'll go through six layers of Hell getting it to idle!

[saludahead]

So he has a clean freaking shop! Big hairy deal! Its his freaking shop! He can be however he wants in it! Go build your own freaking shop, and be however you want in yours!

Love the truck, love the concept, love the engine choice, LOVE that crazy header / intake manifold combo!

Its obvious you have no small skills in fabrication. Automotive fabrication needs a clean shop and a level floor.

[MegaZsolti]

lol @ license plates

[DanOlooney]

does any one know about titling 

[waterwart]

@DanOlooney 903-288-6092

[mcr199mx]

wow, good job! I love how you configured the pipes, looks awesome. And you dont need a dirty garage to build a rat rod.

[callmenort]

dam this is a kewl rod! Lots of innovative touches on it!! Did you make the manifold for the dual carbs?and how does it work for you? No manifold heating to the intake? .Im looking for people that say it isnt needed.

[bikebuilder13]

Sweet rat and a clean work place is a happy work place and sir dont let them ass holes git to you.

[Hysjulien69]

what is that leaf spring in the rear from?? my uncle has an old frame idk wat kind of vehicle its even from but there are two of them that bolt to a rear end could i use these like u did?

[Napalmdog]

Envious, CPmotors. They may not like your clean garage, but it's the better way to do things. Spending hours trying to find parts that go missing amongst the 'clutter' sucks something fierce, I can tell you...

[73mathews]

nice ride but what makes it a GMC? 1937 GMCs had a Pontiac flathead. nothing distinguishes this as a GMC and not a Chevy especially the radiator shroud.

[jamosniper]

i love the truck and the clean garage

[hotrod347]

sorry, but thats a rat. plain and simple. hotrods as a rule do not get "Z"ed frames. rats however do have a "Z"ed frame. otherwise, sweet ride dude. and the garage is fine. i myself like clean shops. can't stand a dirty one, can never find my parts that way. lmao

[bomba50]

its really nice hot rod {not ratrod} this is a compliment wish i could fabricate, i have a ? i am working on the same truck but i am keeping the original front axle is there a reason as to y u didn't keep the original axle? and have u sold it yet i know u were selling it anyways super nice truck

[cristrivino]

is horrible

[waterwart]

rich boys toy

[cpmotors]

Isnt that the same thing you said 8 months ago?

BTW- We celebrated the semi-completion with caviar and some wine and thanked our lucky charms Obama is President

[cpmotors]

Actually, you can keep the crap in your yard- it goes with the rest of the decor. You know, that cluttered, dirty look your use too.

Sorry, I dont need anymore help sweeping the floors or washing the walls, thanks anyways.

Poor guy, Barry's not the Great Messiah you thought he was when you voted him in,is he? And you thought he was going to give you everything for free...

[waterwart]

Nope..yard ain't crappy nor filled with junk...wish it was though,I like stuff! I didn't offer to sweep the floors or do walls..but I WILL help you dirty it up so it don't look so preppy. I didn't vote for Kerry. He's a frickin crook too..just not commies like Obama,nancy P. & harry reed.

[waterwart]

@cpmotors Cluttered dirty look? well,one mans junk is another mans treasure. I mean, you didn't go to the showroom floor to find that thing you built did you. Naw, you found it in afield like mine from someone who knew it was worth saving. And I never offered to sweep your floors. But I can show you how to make it look more homely. And don't know who Barry is, but you sure went left field with that obama crap. Hi unemloyment,government health care shoved down our throats, and that peloci bitch

[bubblesjs]

@waterwart you're a cunt. rat rods are all about the love of building something from nothing. not following rules and regulations, and doing stuff that works for you. just because he's done better in life than you, doesn't mean that he shouldn't be allowed to build a rod. if he loves doing it, then he can. anyway, if he does have a cleaner, good for him, it means he can spend longer building cars :)

[waterwart]

@bubblesjs What? Ya like I'm now the bad guy because I dispise how clean his "shop" (garage) is. Ain't you ever heard of structured critisizem boy? And I could care less how he has done in life. By the way, He's the one who brought that piece of commy bastard Obama into the mix,not me. Maybe you should stick to your litte rice burnin motorscooters and leave the rat rod scene to some of us bigger boys,huh youngster?

[xFReSHeReST]

@waterwart or hes not a redneck and takes pride in having nice looking things. its beautiful cpmotors. and i love you setup

[waterwart]

@xFReSHeReST Or he's juz rich as shit and can afford nice looking things. You decide.

[xFReSHeReST]

@waterwart just because youre poor and failed outta high school doesnt mean you have to take your shit out on people who made something of their life.

[waterwart]

@xFReSHeReST Look here Mr. "free-she-rest"...or whatever your stupid name is..those coments were made over 2 years ago rug rat! And All I was doing was agreeing with what someone else allready put up there,dumbass. Why don't you go get a life dude. All that sitting around with your homeboy and kissing your dog & bringing the camera up close to your face & rompin on your moms gas peddle in the garage all while listening to wigger music AIN'T what your daddy wanted you to be,boy.

[waterwart]

@waterwart Ya dude...I seen your channel. Let me ask you...what did you get out of taking a video of you rompin on your moms gas peddle in the garage,boy? THEN posting it on a worldwide broadcasted webpage for the whole world to see! WHAT the HELL is F'n wrong with you boy? Why don't you juz leave the car buildin to us old men and you go find something better to do with your time. Oh...and by the F'n way all ya'll out there, how ya like that low life commy bastard Obama now!?

[redghost105]

@waterwart what the fuck is your problem?

I honestly can tell your jealous of this guys awesome work

just because your jealous doesnt mean you have to be a asshole

[waterwart]

@redghost105 easy there nephew! That post was over 1 1/2 years ago now. And I STILL agree with what others have allready said before me. His shop is too clean. It would look normal if were to hang a few beer signs, and some calender girl cut outs...and maybe have a oily handprint somewhere ...maybe even have some parts hangin from the rafters. But naw, he don't do any of that. He's a rich dude and it shows. He don't do it like us real mechanics.

[redghost105]

@waterwart just because you keep your stuff clean doesnt mean that your rich, I have a clean house but im dirt poor, obviously hes doing something right, he just built the car from scratch

[waterwart]

@redghost105 Dude, come on. Look at that house and all. You don't think he's rich? Anyway...I could care less. I personally wouldn't have such a clean garage. I like a garage where I can hang parts from the rafters, and hang stuff on nails from bailin wire. And have big tiddied girl posters on the wall, and a big ass fan blowin the hot air around, and car seats used for sittin around in. But that's just me. I like it that way. I ain't askin you to like it. I could care less.

[redghost105]

@waterwart so you have something against the rich I guess?

and I dont care what you like, like whatever you want, just dont call someone out because there better off than you are

[waterwart]

@redghost105 hmm.........your funny kid.....in a weird sort of pre adulesance sort of way. Your daddy buy you that guitar? Look here dip, I don't care if the f'n dude is rich! I could care less The f-ing point was...his shop is too clean. No dirt,no grime, not even a grease rag anywhere. No girly pictures anywhere dude!! You DO like girls don't you? "just don't call someone out because they are better than you are" shit..what the fuck are you spewin about boy? Juz stick to guitar toys....boy.

[redghost105]

@waterwart believe it or not I worked many, many hours to save up enough money for that guitar I have, It was worth 1,250 when I bought it, took me 170 hours to be exact...Yes, I love women, why do you think I play guitar? If you really COULDN'T care less( say it right you moron) then why are you getting so mad?

[waterwart]

@redghost105 That's childs play boy. And as for wording...I'm from the south, youngin. We talk like that here. If niggers can talk ignorant and think it's just fine then us white folks can talk the way we want too. And I ain't mad foo. But man to boy...lay down that guitar son, and go pull some parts of an ol' car. learn to use them. 'Get your first busted knuckle.Upload that shit for us dudes isstead of sissies on swings.Thats part of rat roddin son. Learn a torch too,& welding. Then comment.

[redghost105]

@waterwart Just because your from the south doesnt mean you have to type like a inbreed monkey

and whats up with bringing black people in to the conversation? just because I play guitar doesnt mean I have no life other than that...believe it or not I got done installing a F23 turbo kit on to my accord, Ya i know thats a stupid jap car but its the best ive got for now

[waterwart]

@redghost105 So what the fuck? Go play your guitar and leave me out of your mouth.

[redghost105]

@waterwart My dad owns a 1945 studebaker bullet nose, we bought it in junkyard condition and fixed it up, We have a 289 small block engine inside of it with a few mods and it pumps out 450 horsepower

We had a very hard time trying to fit it inside, we have to re locate the radiator because the 289 is nearly to big for inside the hood

[waterwart]

@redghost105 I don't care. You blew it.

[redghost105]

@waterwart so now that your losing the argument your gonna troll my videos some more and say "i dont care"?

[waterwart]

@redghost105 Hey kid.....go find a toy to play with. And leave the rat rod stuff to us guys.

[redghost105]

@waterwart how about you be this big man you make yourself out to be and just upload a video of your rat rod? if you do that ill go "play with a toy"...most likely tuning my car or driving my dads studebaker

[redghost105]

@waterwart I have helped my dad with the car ever since a few months before I got my guitar,

and before you got on to me about having no videos, where are yours? if your this great inbreed machanic with your own rat rod then why dont you put a video of it up?

[waterwart]

@redghost105 Go home boy. I hear that 1200 doller guitar callin you.

[redghost105]

@waterwart thats your come back? troll all my videos and say go home? just admit it...your a douchebag

[redghost105]

@waterwart I get more tail and money from playing guitar at restaurants and stuff in a month than you do all year, I;m starting to see a trend here...you call out anyone whos better than you

[redghost105]

@cpmotors Dude I love the rod!

its awesome what you did with this, and I also appreciate how clean you keep your garage(unlike some people) if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost to build the whole car? I would love one for myself

[20sy04sdc]

@waterwart what do u mean

[AmericanRustRevival]

i dig the truck, hate the clean garage, you need more crap!!!!!

[TheCottonTop]

That place is cleaner than Jesus's rap sheet.

[djf1227]

Nice shop ! Holy crap

[111sephiroth111]

I have a 1953 dodge pick-up 5 window for sale no rust, body is straight, everything is there except for the truck bed $600 give me a call at (760)810-1960 for more information.

[kdbishop01]

nothing is left but the cab...... i dont see rat...... sorry.. i mean it,s a nice job but you could have done that to any car truck.....??????

[mongo5888]

Great job!!! I wanna build a 32 GMC with a GMC inline in it. And I want to have a truck bed on mine too.

[phill903]

Nice rat !!!

[FZR100095]

Looks like a DR office in there...nock some shit on the floor,drain your oil onto the floor or somthing...

[Kinsella420]

This was almost to clean...seriously that was not a rat-rod...its gotta be done by the shade of a tree...Shade-tree-er...

[carlosmurphy4u1]

Very cool, nice garage too.

[Nytro987]

Throw one together for me

[rpeek]

Wicked cool work... Thanks.

[242ci]

nice garage . cool cool

[darricknratrods]

This is one of my favorite rat rods. I watch your videos all the time. I'm going to build a rat with a inline 6 or cadillac 500. I just can't fabricate. So we'll see what I can do. lol

[peckiledorf]

that grage is 2 clean

[theverenduschuck]

its almost disturbing how clean it is.

[waterwart]

rick folk.

[JSPRFRDKS]

Love the buckets, and the work you did on the transmission tunnel. Love that big ass pipe, sounds mean in the other video.

Greetz from the netherlands

[1954shadow]

Dang, wish I could have heard that six-banger running.

[cpmotors]

Try the Rat Rod at idle or the 1937 GMC from inside video on my channel and your wish shall come true..............

[GraveShifterSkeeter]

you have the cleanest garage ive ever seen. nice truck too

[FordManMT]

where did you get the front axel? Please reply

[cpmotors]

The axle came from his '51 GMC 1/2 ton, the spindles are '51 passenger car.

[bridgeman11]

I like the six. Everyone does 8's.

[desoto39]

super !

[thepawnshopman]

Dude those pipes were SICK!!!!

[J0A0123]

looks ok but the front ends toooo long and he should have got an old 350 or something....i like old 409's the best.

[Charger3091]

Man youve got a great shop, wish my garage looked like that, really nice job man on the ratrod man.

[CowboyStuuu]

That rods beautiful...

I just think it needs 8 cylinders...

[sykop8ntballer]

Sick intake/exhaust manifold work, do it yourself? Your shop looked like a laboratory in the begining, so clean!

[cpmotors]

Yes, He built the intake and exhaust from scrap stainless from a milkhouse, and someones old diesel talepipe.

[motorpsykler]

I saw this car today at Jefferson, thought it looked familiar. I was very impressed. I was most impressed w/the front axle. Was that originally a parallel leaf axle? The custom wishbones were very well done. I also liked the alcohol still inspired copper tubing details!

[cpmotors]

Yes,the axle is off of his '51 GMC.

[303oldskool]

Awesome video man for sure!! Nicely done!!

[SimoDERRRRR]

well done mate!! shes a piece of mechanical art!! 5 stars from me :)

Simo\m/

p.s good to see you kept the 6 in her!! :)

[poorboyrods14]

Sorry to crowd up the comment box,

but I had one more question.

How did you remove the windshield?

thanks

[poorboyrods14]

thanks so much.

poorboy

[bigbud93]

Hey. great build.

I plan to start building in the fall.

I have a few questions.

first of all, can you use your trucks original frame and just channel the body?

And is it street legal? if it is, what did you have to do to make it that way?

thanks,

poorboy

[cpmotors]

Thanks!

To quote my hubby's previous replies on his father's rod - "The floor of the cab is channeled around the frame rails to match, cab just sits over the frame, rubber bushings at mounting points for isolation."

Yes, it is street legal, licensed and driven. What he did to get it that way- you ask? He built it as seen above & applied for a hobbiest plate offered here in WI - that's it as far as I know. - Leah

[cpmotors]

The main reason not to use the original frame is it would probably be alot more work to Z it low enough to get the look, and its not as rigid.

Thanks for the comments!

Pete

[dochudson34]

hey awesome rat man im ahuge hot rod fan and rat rods are a big part of the hot rod history and this is a prime example of the very same hope to see more of it the inline 6 sounds awesome in the other vids keep up the good work

[cpmotors]

It does have a bed on it now, the photos in the slideshow are from 2006. I should add some photos with the updates to the website.

The grill shell is the orginal '37 I believe, the axle is a '51. The frame he custom built.

[Rob760H]

cool bro. you should really think about adding the bed.

I really want to build a rod. I just got done building my 72 nova and im getting into rat rods. My uncles have a 37 chevy pickup that ive been eyeing.

question;

where or what is that front clip from?

[roddermacon]

very nice how big of a welder would it take to do the frame is a 110 to small for the square tubing or would it be pushing the welder to far

[cpmotors]

It depends on the amperage of the 110. Most small 110V powered welders can weld upto 3/16" thick steel at the most, so that could be a limitation.

[redpinespygmys]

Well The only thing I got To say He's got to be a Youg fella . Any one over 55 would never get out of it or in it with out a rubber pad to throw out on the concrete to get in or out on ! "Good job on the truck" .. "It 's one to be proud of" ! Al

[cpmotors]

Hey Al, thanks for the comments. He was 54 when he parked it last Fall & he'll be 55 when he gets it out this Spring. I'll be sure to get him a rubber pad...

[danzapata]

kool kustom!

[zrili]

Well I hate to be an ass but its carp!

Better luck on the rebuild!

[last0vikings]

OK, let's see U build one, smart ass!

[Gyl01]

I like it.

Great work.

Greetings from Hamburg ,Germany.

[xXthaXx]

hey is it street legal

[cpmotors]

Licensed,insured and driven all over.

[dustmundo]

Looks like you taped off the body for a chop. What happened?

[cpmotors]

He trimmed the bottom off but only talked about doing the top. I think he's a little bored with it now and looking to sell it and build the next one.

[oldchevyw]

cool,that's alot of work,i'm going to do a 40 chevy and your little boy kinda makes me think how my grandson will be

nice work

[sausageslaps]

so you made the cab an integral part of the frame? how did that work out? must be ultra stiff.

[cpmotors]

Cab just sits over the frame, rubber bushings at mounting points for isolation.

[akondabomb5689]

Awesome truck my son and I are going to be building a 39 Fargo pickup truck. It has As straight six with a two speed powerglide .where did you get split manifold and exhaust flange.D&D ONT.CANADA

[cpmotors]

He custom fabricated the intake & exhaust all from stainless.

[silver760]

Some absoloutley superb fabrication there!!I know its a rat rod,but I think the cab would look far better painted,even if it's just satin black,love the interior and the aircraft seats,I have all the tooling and the experience to build,but alas no longer a garage or my health.

[cpmotors]

Thanks for the comments, glad you like it.

[moondawg111]

Great Work!

[lcurtizz]

where did you get the aluminum bomber buckets and ford suspension?

[cpmotors]

The buckets are the original steel bases out of his '51 GMC , as is the axle. The spindles are '51 GM passenger car. I'm not sure about the springs.

[lcurtizz]

now that i look at it the springs are out of an early ford

[noah1970]

chop it!

[cpmotors]

About 5" front and 3" rear? That's what he was thinking.

[motorpsykler]

That front end looks very stout for a suicide setup. Did you engineer it completely from scratch or did you source the brackets, etc. from somewhere? Very nice work, by the way.

[cpmotors]

With the weight of the six and the wheelbase he wanted it sturdy. He hand fabbed all of it himself. Thanks-

[rotag84]

That is a beautiful job, man. I really like the exhaust and intakes you made. Nice work!!

[mctim64]

Great car man! Did you make it to Bonneville?

[cpmotors]

Thanks- We ended up having to cancel the trip out about 3 weeks before it happened. Not what I wanted to do but it just wasn't working out this year.

[psiResearch]

Great slide show. It shows how much work goes into it. I like the axle in front of the radiator, it's like a chopper with 4 wheels.

[Wholelotofshakingoin]

With that front end and engine positioning what did the engineers say about its braking or how did the brake test go when getting it engineered. Owen Australia

[cpmotors]

That's an interesting question Owen. I'm not sure what an engineer would say about it's braking/engine position, maybe it could be classified as a mid-engine chassis?! Brake testing has gone good, no mishaps or issues so far. It actually stops pretty good. What in particular are you wanting to know?

[245russ]

your shop is cleaner than my bathroom!nice truck.Rusty in Canada eh!

[brendajoe]

Nice. I was serching for some ideas for a project I am planning using a Range Rover, Austin A30 and Jag rear end. Your posting is a great insperation.

Cheers

XB12 Gangster.

Scotland.

[silver760]

Sounds interesting Brendajoe,jag rear end is THE classic Brit hot rodders back end along with the Rangy lump!Oh and the sit up and beg Ford pop is a pre-requisite for us Brit modders/rodders!!

[m3pedro]

Congrats on a great execution and seeing thru your vision! I'm almost done with my dream build...a bit diffrent than yours....bmw1602 dot com

Cheers !

[DarTuxmask]

basically anything 40sgal doesnt like isnt really what everybody else says it is just look at her profile, great job on this truck im building the same cab but mine was a 36 chevy i decided to use a z frame and put the straight axel under the motor so it would be shorter and i could use the box but still awesome man

[gynleo]

Good Job!

Congratulations from Brasil

[XxNoNamexX32]

Great job! I love it.

[Wiky100]

Awesome man. Congratulations on your build. Rat rods are fun, and cool. Anyone who classifies a hot rod by pre 35 is a moron. Besides, hot rodding needed a infusion of new blood. We can't all build a '32 ford 3 window or have chip or boyd custom build us a car. Hooray for the little guys with creativity and a budget.

[drhotrodmd]

Scott you built this to make yourself happy and not to please these other asshats that should be in their shop building something instead of picking your truck apart. I have seen it in person and it is pretty cool.

[a40sgal]

I would rather walk then build something that was never meant to be a hot rod.

I suppose "Ol Skool Rods" would love it though.

[Rikko40]

You have a very limited idea of what a 'hot rod' is. Pre '35 my ass!

[a40sgal]

With a fancy garage , Great tools, and some fabricating skills why didn't you build a real hot rod instead shitbox with no proportions?

[cpmotors]

He spent all his money on the fancy garage and great tools, which left him with no way to pay Chip Foose to design a real hotrod?

His English Wheel is in the shop?

His stretching machine only works in one direction? Seriously though,what would you do different? What do you mean by real hot rod?

[a40sgal]

Anything pre 1935 like a model A coupe,sedan,truck body, a deuce, a 34 ford, etc,etc. Serious, What is the facination with everyone putting 1935 on up stuff on rails instead of bodies that were really ran in the old days !?!?!? Pick up old hot rod magazines folks...all the REAL info is in there !

[cpmotors]

Ouch!

Have you looked at the video of the '31 roadster on my channel? That was his first attempt at a "real" hot rod. I guess I didnt realize pre 35's are the only thing counting as real hot rods. The fascination, as you put it, for him was the price of a 37 GMC, which is just a *little* less than any A tin.

He is looking for an A sedan at the moment, have any laying around?

[mctim64]

Right on man!

[porkchop70]

your a dumb bitch.

[g0fvt]

Love the fabrication quality, nice workshop too, cleaner than my house!

[Wholelotofshakingoin]

Its interesting to see how you used the chassis rails as a part of your new floor section while lowering the body at the same time

[cpmotors]

Not sure if you can see it but the floor of the cab is channeled around the frame rails to match. It leaves a little more leg/head room for when the top gets chopped, and makes it a little more comfy on the legs instead of being stretched out straight in front of you.
