Ack! Since I took the truck to Detroit as a mockup nearly a year ago, I haven't touched it. Been totally swamped with customer projects, and I somehow got involved with building myself a vintage BSA that now has a magazine deadline. When I got back from Detroit, I was all fired up to swap the SBC out for a baby Hemi, and finish this damn thing. Got the Hemi, got it more or less ready to go in, and totally ran out of steam. Right around this time, the bike project fell in my lap as well, and shortly after THAT came around, I started building hotrods full time. I guess I just need some moral support here. I'll be on the BSA project another three months or so, it HAS to be done by June to meet a deadline for The Horse magazine. After that, I can either pick up where I left off on the truck, or sell it and build the A roadster of my Hemi fueled dreams.
Just so you know, I haven't totally gone to the dark side by building a bike, here's the junk I'm building, fabricated fantasy hahah.
Having just sold my '31 5 window after building it for 7 years I can tell you this. If your feeling like your can part with it and it won't totally kill you, let it go. Place your efforts into somthing that really excites you. JMO. Dirty
That bike has cool lines, if i ever build one it will be that kinda geometry... as for your truck, itll find a buyer easy enough, just ask enough so you arent pissed at yourself for letting it go cheap. might take a month or two longer at a high price, but i reckon value is percieved and not actual to a degree..so set the price high and stick to it. Chuck Norris checks for you becuase i TOLD him to. PS. on second thoughts, maybe sell the body off,a good 32-34 truck brings good money, that frame looks pretty well kitted out..and itll slide under an A roadster ok right?
Thought about it, can't though cause of the mag thing. At least I have to finish it before deciding what to do with the truck.
Good old tin is getting harder to find by the day. If you dont have to sell it cover it up for later. OLD TRUCKS ROCK!
that bike would look killer in the back of that truck - consider them a pair! (oh wait, does that truck have a bed?)
Haha, and here I thought I was being all sneaky with my indecision! Nowhere safe anymore. Howdy Carl!
Man that's a tough one. If it's not something that you NEED to sell, I would hang on to it. You have so much great effort into it, and are so close to the finish line that it would be a shame to let it go. I am sure you would really regret selling it at some point. But, if you don't NEED to sell it, but need it gone-you could donate it to me Dan
