    The truck looks great! Lots of neat history to go along with it too. The stance is right where it should be. :cool:

    The frame John started for my 27 ir ready for primer.
    He'd be very happy about how that truck is looking.

    Jeff: That truck looks great, kool !!!! You have certainly did the old hot rod justice. I think alot of people will be following the build now, it certainly is NOT a diamond in the ruff, it is a Diamond. Nice work, GREAT VISION. My vote -- Nerf Bar !!!!!!

    Holy **** Jeff, that is amazing. You've made some incredible progress since the last time I saw it.

    What's that like? Progress? I've heard of it, never experienced it.

    Keep going brother, you're my hero.

    Damn Jeff, That is a Pissah truck. Love the rear window idea. Love to find a set of those rear lamps really like the look. Sort of Pontiac, kind of Porsche 356 too, but the surrounds are real nice. And Tiger maple is a great wood choice. My brother made a whole bedroom set out of that and it is amazing. Good choice.

    Best of luck - MRAK
