It will take us time on the motor because were not paying lump some but monthly installments.It will be Matthews fist automible. My first automoble was a 1972 Ford Pinto:( years back what a hot rod:D .

    Good Luck 283man And Son. If You Need Any Help With The Ol Skool Rat Rod Part Of Things Let Me. Thats My Specialty. Remember Lower Is Better And No Billet Aluminum:) I Know A Ton Of Shops With Parts To Get That Ol Skool Rat Rod Look. Suede Black Is The Prime Choice For The Rat Rod Paint. As Youve Seen On 66 Kustom, I Know A Choice Place To Get White Walls And Bullet Center Caps For The Wheels. Let Me Know If I Can Help!!
