Almost everything gets cut off at some point. But you must brace things up before you start hacking at your frame. I used some relatively thick angle iron bars to hold the top and bottom of the frame rails and to keep them from twisting and moving when cutting out the cross members, two temporary crossbars up front and one towards the rear just for safe measure. Also, welding extra crossbars around the frame will help prevent the twisting and flexing that welding can cause if the frame doesn’t hold anything together. Remember, welding causes the metal to expand and … Continue reading “Why does it look so easy when you read it in the magazine, but when you go to install it is more difficult?”
As if we didn’t have enough to do, we traded for a 64 Ford custom cab pickup with a Y-block. The idea was to pull the motor and drop in a Windsor. Well, that turned into another entire project, as when we tore into the truck, we found a lot of little secrets. For one, the stance was too high, so we flipped the leaf springs in the front and notched the rear end to bring it down.

The pre-teens, teens and twenty-somethings grew up watching The Fast and Furious … Continue reading 7 Reasons Hot Rods Are Dying
It has been a while since I have posted anything. I have over five hundred pictures of the transformation of this car. When I started this project in 2009, I planned to build a little rat rod. Well, that has changed drastically. I will update this site on where we are now with the car, starting with placing a Mustang II suspension kit onto the frame. No one makes a kit for a 1954 Merc, so this had to be a custom order. I went with a local builder roughly an hour from my home — Lakeshore Fabrication in Colombia, … Continue reading Mustang II Suspension – Lakeshore Fab
I decided to tear the 54 front suspension out and build a more modern front stub. Since we are slamming the car down and bagging it, I decided why not upgrade the spindles, move into upper and lower tubular arms, … Continue reading Starting 2021 with hopefully some sort of mustang II Hub to Hub Kit

Back in 2015, I receive an email form a gentleman on the Hamb wanting to know if I would be interested in selling my drivetrain. I decided I was going to pull the motor and build something different anyhow, so … Continue reading Going to Switzerland
