Newbie from TX
« on: July 27, 2012, 09:08:32 PM »
Just for starters, My name is Dusty and I am from North Texas,  I grew up working and tinkering on cars with my dad, He was working on building a Rat Rod when he passed away... I now have the 27-T and a bunch of parts and not sure what I want to do with it,,,Build it,,,Sell it,,, or trade it..   Hope to get some good info and a little guidance with this car and som of the parts he has collected over the years....

Thanks,
Dusty

Welcome to the Nation Dusty. My first thought would be to honor mky dad, in your case your dad. And build and put on the street his dream. Carry on where he left off. Becouse if you dont and you get rid of it you are going to hate yourself down the road. Build it has he would. Take your time and do it in Texas Style.

Sorry to hear about your DAD.    Looks like he left you a nice start.    If you finished it when ever you drive it you would think about him every time.

When the car is gone its not comming back. At least you know how your dad felt about it. What would he do?

Welcome to the nation dusty...............if it were me, i would build it in honor of your father. Would be a great build and a great way to keep his memory alive.
Love building rat rods, driving mustangs, and building websites.
