NICE NICE NICE, great idea, some of the best rat rods i have seen are from the "WELDERUP" guys out Vegas way i think. (saw them on discovery channel).  Google "welderup, you will be amazed at what they do, all diesel ratters though. can't wait to see what you do mate. |

Heres the cab body before i chopped it...  Here it is chopped to where i like it. Didn't chop it too much, but i think it looks good for my first chop...  It is going to be an unfinished chop, so i made welds around the chop with body filler and a toothpick. Now the bodys ready to be painted, and the welds will be rusted.   |

Nice job on the chop. Not too drastic. I like where this is headed.
