What compelling videos. I couldn't stop watching. Cool ride for sure, and the path you took building it. Congratulations!

Does the spotlight work?

Thanks for the video. Congrats! But be careful no one leans too hard on that hood. They might fall in!

And I'm not too sure I'd call that a rat rod. It's so much nicer and better than a rat rod! It still looks like a pick up truck, not a conglomeration of miscellaneous parts.

Very good video. I can see the pride in your accomplishment. And that was a nice burnout. Thanks for sharing the project timeline.

Saludos Ben! Pues desde el huracan estuve sin energia electrica por tres meses, batallando para comprar gasolina, ect. Pero ahora mismo todo está normalizado, salvo las areas de las montañas que aùn hay personas con problemas de energia electrica y*caminos derrumbados. Mi ayudande es mi hijo de vez en cuando lo secuestro para que se ensucie las manos!*

I really enjoyed the videos- thanks for sharing with us! I always have some respect for old vehicle bodies that have been used, weathered, and live on. If they could only tell their stories. I'm trying to determine which frame you used- is the truck on a panther frame now with a 5.0, or another type?
