    I got home from work one day and this pile magically appeared in the back yard.

    This little truck doesn't get too many miles on her anymore, but she always cranks right up.

    Haha, It was actually pretty hard to get excited about working on it when it was at that stage, some of my pals that saw it said "man that is embarrassing, get rid of it before too many people see it. " But I wasn't afraid of making a big mess and believe me it was messy. There was a ton of trial and error. twice while i was obsessing over symmetry from side to side (I had a ton of cardboard templates) and took too long trying to make it right that the entire passenger side of the body fell off and smashed on the ground overnight.... I couldn't quit though even though in the beginning it would have been easy to. very early on I sent construction photos (pictures in an envelope with a stamp on it) to Jerry Weesner at Custom Rodder magazine and he printed them several different times. I figured that if a bunch of people knew I was doing it that I couldn't quit. Kind of a built in motivator......

    This my be a little OT, but I thought guys would find it interesting. My '29 Duesenberg as found in a back yard in 1957, in progress, and as it looks today. I was not involved back then, I'm not THAT old.

    Thanks. I was young and lucky when I bought it. It still has the original wood.

    Off topic or not, the Duesenburgs were, I.M.O. the classiest cars ever built.
