CUSTOM in progress! The Rat!

So I have finally started on a custom I have been excited about for a while. It is a rat rod with a ton of attitude that started life as more of a fantasy car. I gave a teaser pic before of what parts I am using.

I started by cutting off the front end and cutting a hole in the roof:

I used the original chassis and hacked it up to simulate actual frame rails:

The basic shape I am after:

Body in bare metal finish...this is how it will stay!

Body and chassis mocked up. Low, lean, and mean!

That is it for now. I should have this done within a couple days. Any questions let me know.
