1941 Ford F6 – Rat Rod – Rudy Vigil
I purchased the start of this project by trading for it piece by piece traded a 1929 Mercedes Benz kit car for the project and a lot of other old goodies to make this build happen.

Ok guys and gals, We need to get new stories up and some good information for our new viewers and for you, our loyal members.
I bought it off of EBay for $99 with 320 watchers.
Well, another year has gone by and we have had some milestones happen. This has been a good year for us, so, in an effort to recap what has been happening, let’s look back at last years review.
Once I had a product I believed in, at a price I felt is better suited to people like me, we ordered some. A LOT of hose and A LOT of fittings – probably too much but we believed so strongly that there is an opportunity for a High Quality PTFE braided hose in the market with awesome looking AN fittings that we committed to taking the idea forward.
Now, as you can guess, this festival is centered around apples and scrapple. (For those of you who may not know what scrapple is, it is scraps of pork, seasoned and cooked and put in a mold.)
It has almost been a year. Ten months really, since this idea became something tangible. Since I acted upon my ideas and began to go out and “do something” with it.
Most cars and trucks there were pre 1970, however, there was definitely a presence for later models and they all seemed to show well.
While I am a huge fan of Built not Bought, this car demanded to be brought back to life in the way it was intended when originally built.
Gavin’s fabrication work and use of non-traditional features and parts is consistent with the original intent of the Rat Rod.
