I don't know what it would cost to build this but you could build and charge whatever you wanted and people would pay it. Outstanding. jim

Don't worry, he is watching and approves....[cl jim

This truck is just so cool. When I started my truck I had an idea of what I wanted to do with unlimited money. Of course that never happened and I am happy with my truck. The next time we talk remind me about my project idea... Anyway, take courage in the fact that have made all the right...

Don't feel alone as there are always those little things. I had to tear the dash apart becasue I had put the speedo light on the wrong post of the headlight switch.....Arrggg We forget just how many places there are in the rebuilds for things not to go right. Got to be thousands of details...

That is awesome, what a great looking ride. I hope you understand that you are probably sitting on a goldmine. Once the world see this you are going to be bombarded by request for a copy. Can't wait till I see the next installment. jim

You know that if you took your frame [love the new version] and made a jig you could make those and sell them???? I bet alot of people would buy them and that would pay for your project. Just sayin.....[cl jim

I like it. Make the mechanicals good first and then worry about the body. Remeber the body can only be original once. Good job I know it would make your son proud. jim

Excellent work, first rate. It is seeing work like this that inspires me to keep going on my project. looking forward to the updates. jim

Here is a picture of my junk. I don't know if it qulifies but I love it. This was how I bought it. Been in the shop this winter making changes and should come out in about a month. I am dieing to go drive the damn thing. jim

I like everything you have done on this truck except the head lights. They just look out of place. Maybe move them back some so they don't give it the bug eyed look. Hard to explain but they seem to counter the flow of the truck which is really slick. it has a natural flow of front to back. jim

Had a pretty good day today as I got a number of things done. Nothing earth shaking but important. The first thing was to install my rebuilt door mirror. I thought I had a picture but I guess not. The next part is really cool. I had taken my ashtray cover and glove box door and sent them to...

Thank you, just doing what I can to get my baby back on the road in a safe and drivable condition. jim

Just to get out of the wiring for a while I went about fixing a cooling issue that was driving me crazy. In the first picture you can see the top radiator hose came off the intake manifold, went up and then dove down to the radiator that was mounted really low. Amazingly it cooled really well...

Todays topic is the front park lights. Originally they were park only and I wanted park/turn signals. The original units were messed up thanks to the PO so i just bought repoduction front lights and their "conversion" kit to park/turn signals. The conversion kits didn't work so I made the...

I like the idea of the Sgt stripes. If that's what you want, go for it. Also it is good you decided to lower it. They all look bettered lowered... jim
