Hi all, so I just picked up this homemade body and frame on the weekend. It came with a tall deck 427 and a TH400 trans. Came with some other parts like headlights, tail lights, a seat, some extra rims and tires, and some suspension parts. I picked everything up for $650. The roof is designed to be taken off to have the roadster look.
I've done a bit of work on cars but never something this big, I plan to learn as much as I can and my girlfriends father is going to help me out along the way. There is also a local guy who has built some rat rods so he is coming over this week to give me some ideas and a game plan for where I should start. I am thinking of getting the suspension and steering working first but I'll have to see what he says. I'm unsure if I should just get a new engine like a 350 or I might just hook up the 427 for now and see how it works.
Any other ideas or suggestions along the way is appreciated.
