New guy from PA

Hey Im new to the rat rod thing, Got in to this after is started building a 89 mustang and found it to be not what I wanted. So here I am Looking for a truck cab and ready to run. I plan to build my own frame, I love to weld and build things, been doing it for 12 years and cant wait to start. So If anyone has a truck body let me know. I've been finding them and not likeing the prices 1000 + for a bare cab is crazy I think or maybe im out of touch lol

Ditto on not using the R*t Rod term. Spend some time reading some posts similar to what you want to build and you'll see there is a big difference to a traditional built hot rod. Welcome from MD.

 

You meant to say rad-rod didn't you.

I'm sure you just goofed typing.

 

Welcome from SC but was born in York, PA - grew up in Hanover.

Ditto on the rat rod stuff.

 

Wow you guys are tough lol. I'm lookin for a fun project, something I'm going to love when I'm done. the mustang would have been just like everyother mustang and thats not me.

 

The first thing you need to do is learn the difference between a Rat Rod and a traditional Hot Rod! One is a piece of ****, the other is a Hot Rod,does this help?

 

welcome to the site you will def learn the diffrence between a rat rod, street rod,traditional rod,jalopy,junk,bucket.so on so forth ...start reading theres tons of info here ....

 

I've been seeing that there are ****py looking ones and ones done nice with flat black and are very custom and thats the look I'm going for. Now I just need to get a cab.
