They say the last 10% is 90%of the work....
One of the best parts of building a Rat Rod is that there is no instruction book and no rules. Anything goes!
Use what you've got or get creative and recycle anything you can find.
Scrap bin, junk yard, FB Marketplace, antique stores.... you name it. Just throw away convention and keep going.
In this episode the truck gets new lights, truck bed floor, tool box/filler neck, and we work to figure out the fender debacle.
Join us as we grind, weld, saw, pound and fabricate.
built not bought. garage build. 1952 Dodge pickup. rat rod truck. Hemi swap.

Thank you. It’s looking like no grill guard is the way most would like to see it done.

The craftsmanship you’ve shown here is excellent! Love the tool box, bumper and patch panel mods! I’ve been working on my ‘54 in a similar manner 👏

I appreciate you saying that. It means alot. We are having a lot of fun coming up with new ways of making stuff. Good luck with your 54 hopefully you get it done soon. What do you think, grill guard or no grill guard?

No grill guard love the way the old Dodge front end looks. Great idea with the turn signal lights. Love the bumpers, too. We need to meet up and do a side by side photo of our 1952s.

Thank you for commenting and your feedback on the grill guard. We had to figure out something. I like how they came out also.

Let’s see the guard first but likely no. Those bumpers and the grill look sharp

Have you ever seen how DD Speed Shop does tail lights? It's a universal socket, he step drills the old socket out and puts the universal in. That MIGHT work.

@ridgerunnergarage Ай бұрын

I have. We watch a lot of his stuff.. didn’t think of that option.

Great job but definitely no grille guard , also a little muriatic acid washed then sprayed with peroxide will rust it up quickly. Keep up the great work

I like the look of no grill guard. But it might look good with one. You build what you want. What camera do you film with?

@ridgerunnergarage Ай бұрын

Thank you. The general consensus is no grill guard. We use GoPros with a high storage SD card. Standing setting. The only custom setting is the one button recording option.
