Default Rat rod maybe??

Thinking about maybe building a traditional hot rod (aka Rat Rod). I figure I should be able to score an old model A body in ok shape for a couple hundred somewhere. From there I figure I toss in the AMC 360 I have sitting here in the garage, slap on a suicide front end with solid axle, Chevy 10 bolt rear...little chop to the roof and some primer...voila!

Just been thinking about it a lot the last couple months and I think it's an itch I need to scratch h:

As appealing as the rod sounds...I'd wait for the Merc.
