    Don't remember a pu, but a guy over in England, Paul, I think, had done a 50's ford(?) delivery van. Very nice job. Very cool guy. He's passed awhile ago. CryptFink was his handle here. I think. There were, iirc, a couple of guys posting on his thread about doing one of their own.

    No I was following his build in real time. It was a young kid who had a motocross accident I think and left him paralyzed from waist down. He was doing all the fab work himself with a little help but man it was such a kool build. Man if I had to put a date on this , I’m think around 2014/2015.

    You are not crazy as I remember it. But not enough to give you info on finding it.
