the start of my frame



prolly going to move along slowly we will see

 

Great start!

 

cool ...keep us posted on your progress....

 

nice start and shop

 

Nice, can't have too many 32-34 pickup builds. How about some details?

 

All I got was socks for my birthday.

Lot of potential there. Good luck!

 

Ditto. What's with the coupe(?) next to it?

 

You are on the way. Looks like a good start!

 

Looks great. Great start !

 

Okay, you got our attention..keep it coming. I envy you, for the room you have to work in.

 

Good lookin cab.I wish my 34 was in that good of shape.But I am more impressed with the room you have in your shop.I am jealous!

 

i like ole pick ups , i have a 34 p/u also good luck solid looking cab mines a religious object...... its holey

 

Nice Truck! Wish the underware I got for x-mas look that good!

 

Very nice cab, nice family too. That frame is very similar to the one I built for mine but it looks like your's has more drop built into it than mine.

 

Nice big shop - I have to ask - that big semi - is that a future project?

 

Nice K-W. You do some Truck driving?

 

I sold my '34 pickup and regret if almost daily. Keep us informed as you make progress.

4 years?...my granny's slow, but she's dead...

 

Stay at it man. These old pickups are fun. I must be somewhere in your vicinity.

 

Don't let these jackrabbits, who complete their builds in a decade or two, discourage you. Us turtles get there eventually. Just settle on a plan and stick to it.

 

Glad you're at it again!

 

,, maybe I can keep focused on this thing for a bit? Anyhow gave her a haircut today....

Jackrabbit's,that's funny.

I built my Deuce pickup in a mere 6 months (Jackrabbit time) but building my 1954 Ranch wagon took 9 years and a month (turtle time).

Hang in there and keep plugging away,,you'll get there. HRP
