My '53 Build
Hey yall,
I am starting on my 4th project now a '53. I bought a '56 when I was 12, a '71 when I was 16, a '73 Bronco when I was 19, and now a '53.
This one is pretty rough so I am going for the rat rod style rather than a restoration/show truck.
I got this rig for $250 delivered to my house so not a bad deal!
I don't have a picture of the '56 but here is the '71 and the Bronco

And some progress I've made. I got the bed taken all the way apart and the doors off. I am doing a 5.5" chop and keeping the fullsize rear window, pie cut the hood, 3" wider rear fenders, shave and fill everything. Here's a couple pics...

It looks like the pile I started with. But looking at the other pictures you should be able to do it. Mine was in close to the same shape and I just got it to a roller. Just keep at it. I keep telling myself If it was easy everybody would have one!
I'm looking at this on my phone, the phone app does not show me your location..... Where you at? I have a extra cab in north Mississippi with a really good top/roof on it that I'm not planning on using.
