    Don't be so hasty to sell this one to finish the 3w.. It seems to have even more soul than the white one.


    All the parts that you are using seem like they look like they have always been on that truck, if you get what I mean.

    very cool indeed.

    hey thanks! Yeah the 2x2 is awsome, but wouldn't fit...... It is pretty cool putting an old Hot Rod back together using only Old Hot Rod parts.....

    It was probably a lot different back in the day...... but it sure could have been like this!

    Its going to be a great little truck!

    Yeaaaa, clap, clap, clap, clap, whistle, whistle, whistle, whistle. Looking good and I especially like the wide chrome beauty rings with the caps.

    Any plans to take it for a test drive around the neighborhood or is that going to wait until everything's bolted on?
