Bought a new toy this weekend

Picked this 48 Ford truck up from a guy on Craigslist for $300. What you see is what I got except for the hood which isn't pictured. Truck has tons of surface rust but the only substantial rot is the bottom of the driver door and the header panel inside the cab. Plan is to build it into a rat rod on a new frame. Chop the top about 4 inches, no fenders or hood, simple bench seat interior with functional gauges, 350 engine, not sure on trans yet...would like to go manual. Flat or satin black with the shop logo painted on the doors. I'd like to build the entire truck for under $3,000. Won't have a chance to start on it til spring though...way too busy right now.
