Rebuilt, Rebuildable & Reconstructed

This Model A Sedan "Rat Rod" has been designed and built as a project for the avid home garage mechanic to finish. Here you get an original Ford body chopped 5 inches with some extreme custom features on a traditional style frame set up, for around the same price as a "T-Bucket" kit. ---- All you'll need to finish her'up is the engine and transmission out of that old pickup truck that's been sitting in your yard for the past few years. Note: I'm 5'11" , this car should be a comfortable ride for anyone 6 foot tall down to 5 or even shorter. The seats could also be easily adjusted with longer bolts and spacers.
