38 ford ground up

[marc55]

Hi, my name is Marc and I want to show my newest project. My first build thread is on the 47 and up board. A second gen 55 chevy I am converting to 4x4. I found the board keep me motivated and I have learned a lot from reading other peoples build. I also hope my threads can be helpful to others. Right now the 55 is in paint jail so I picked up this 38 ford cab as a project to keep me busy. My actual next project after the 55 is a 68 firebird I have since high school. I figure I can do all the sheet metal work on the 38 between saving money of the firebird.
Right now my vision is kinda of a hybrid rat rod. A 4inch chop, custom bed, home built frame, c4 corvette suspension and mild 350 but nice pains and body work and as comfortable interior I can make.
I have about 2 months before the 55 comes back so I am trying to do as much as possible. I need to justify all the tools I am buying and am looking forward to the challenge of a ground up build.
