I thought you would like to see some pics of my brother-n-laws 40 Chevy PU. Its not quite `traditional`, but I think it will look pretty good when he is done.
He is over 50 years old, and this is his first street rod/hot rod that he has ever done! This was a nice bone stock running/driving truck just 14 months ago! He took it apart, bought a welder and taught himself to weld, and started boxing the frame and welding all the brackets for the rack-n-pinion, engine mounts, rear end mounts, etc. He asked a lot of question along the way, and learned a lot.
I ended up building the motor for him, which is a strong running 350; he was right there asking me questions and helping along the way.
I took these pics after he got the frame back from the power coater, and we dropped the engine/trannie in for the first time.
