Man I love that truck and the craftsmanship going into it. Please keep posting lots of pics.
Rab, if he changes his mind on this one we are going to take up fishing again. Being sort of sloppy personally, it is hard for me to understand someone so driven by perfection. Must get it from his Mom.

I'd like to reiterate what everyone else has said about your fine craftsmanship..............That being said if he starts talkin bout hackin it up again
call me cuz I wanna be near the dumpster that he throws all his "junk" he doesn't wanna use.
Don, the car looks outstanding, like rolling art. Makes me want to throw my junk in the scrap bin and start over.
I'm diggin the wheel/tire combo
A friend of mine owns Hot Rods and Hobbies. This guy is a real stickler for details. His cars look as good on top as on the bottom. Maybe its being in California or SoCal, but I've seen bills for his cars from $250K - $500K and people were paying itOne thing for sure, we could never do this for anybody else and make any money at it. There are two solid days of work in that simple front crossmember, so if you do the math, even if you were charging $ 20 an hour X probably 20 hours in it = $ 400. You could never bill anyone $ 400 for that crossmember. Jimmy Shine summed it up on his TV show when he said to Littleman "In business you have to decide if a part is going to be a 10 or a 2. If it doesn't show, make it a 2."
Dan would never make it in a commercial shop because every part to him has to be a 10, and when he isn't happy with something, out comes the sawzall and he starts all over again. I guess if you are doing it for yourself that is ok though.
