Ok for all those that dont sled here is a project that a guy from work has started. I now work part time at "Johnny`s Rat Rod Shop".

Will post some pics of the start then will add more to keep it going.
#1pic 1928 Model A
#2 pic On the trailer heading to shop
#3 pic This is the donor car that will be used for the drivetrain and whatever else will work
#4 pic what remains of the donor car after parts have been stripped off. Was a 1988 Mustang 5.0 litre V/8
