    Oh, man...you're on your way with that one - what a beauty and what a great starting point - blank slate with ideas pouring out of every decade since the first "jalopy" was created.

    Keep us on your update roster.

    its a sedan converted into a panel

    its been chopped already so the plans for the body are just make it straight and ready for some paint...suicide front end with a 4" drop axle out back I'm wanting to run a leaf spring...tryin to make it look ol school and not lookin like a some of the rat rods ive seen around...and as far as engine I'm hoping to find something like a flat head or a Y-block

    its just a 2dr im pretty sure im goin to leave it that way

    Very nice find! Looks pretty sound. I hope it is as good as it looks under that primer. Whatever it is a very good starting point, it has the potential to be a very nice rod. Good luck with it.

    I'd cut the the panel out to match the front door and the "b pillar" making it one big window.
