Default Sammio rat rod pick-up

My everyday pick-up truck has served me well over the last 4 years but the MOT is due and I'm not confident so started looking for a replacement just in case.

It's a Scimitar SE6 V6 manual with overdrive, Ford model "A" floor-pan and a 32 Ford pick-up body.

It's not the ideal tool for every day use but it'll do as a stop-gap until I can find some thing a little more user friendly and I can always sell it when I'm finished with it.

We cut the floor-pan to line up with the wheel base as best we could and it was soon obvious the engine and gearbox would have to be moved back 10".
This way the radiator grill would now line-up with the front axle and we could keep the spreader bar between the front suspension turrets





It turned out to be a nice fit with very little effort.
