Awesome. I think you've got a good thing going with your frames! What other vehicles do you plan on doing this for?

Out of curiosity (someone may have already asked), how many hours do you think you have in the design on the computer?

Depends on who beats my door down first. Right now the C10 and 52-56 Ford guys are winning but I get some C2/3 Corvette guys and A-Body guys rattling my email as well.

But any other project is going to be a LONG time out. I need to finish up all the help stuff, tech drawing, 3D animations, how to video, and lots of work on the website. Some where in the middle of all that I would like to get back to the road course so I can make some real handling options for guys who want to throw down at the end of the day.

Haha.

Nah, I saw it. Just didn't think I should be the one to post it.

Russell,

I like that you're posting a bunch of pics showing the process.

BTW-how's the Nerd name been received?

Nerd's and welding are a unique combo...and unique is often good IMHO.

At the very least we get a "I had to come take a look to see what a Nerd Rod was" and that's more than you can say about a lot of shop names from what I've seen at car shows. But its been good over all.

You've got an awesome build going on here.

[rat_rod_russell]

Done with the main rails now and I've moved to the front stub, radiator support cross member and bumper mounts.
