so i guess i should have been a bit clearer about this  blog … this car isn’t complete car yet, its kinda a step by step build .. i have been shooting the car since october 1st, and i have been stopping by the shop once a every other week .. and i hope you enjoy the build, i know they might be teaser style pictures but i will get into more details about the shots as much as i can ..  and complete shots when the car is done

its really hard to believe that this was once an old truck similar to the one in the background now turned rat rod..

i forget what this rad came from but steve mentioned that it  was from the 1920′s

and it was last touch by some guy with last name “while” in 1926

Photobucket

but i think its the proper front end for the build what do you think ?

last i saw the car i noticed the lack space to put the essential things you need for a car to run, check out the break system build into the floor, from what steve has told me they basically have to find space and custom fab every inch of the car to make it happen, even down to the frame ..

old school electric super charger !

Photobucket

i am not sure what history this wheel holds but i heart wooden wheels

Photobucket

air bags installed and ready to go ..

Photobucket

and this was one of the last mod of the week where steve really didn’t have room for the steering rack so they had to cut into the body to make it happen, its really impressive system they created that you have to see…

more coming soon enjoy!
