So you welded it. Nice! That would save some time, I hate grinding rivets off. I have to check the drivers side xmember as well, since it sounds like its usually the first to go.

Ratrod!! **** yeah! That's a dream of mine. Sounds like we need to find you a 460 to throw in that baby I love the look of the 30's and 40's body's on lifted trucks too. Kinda like a lifted rat rod.

Get a hold of me sometime this weekend, I'll have to swing by to check out the new toys. I work Saturday morning but otherwise pretty free. Or if you need a hand hauling or anything let me know.
