    Looks nice, excellent metal work too. A couple ?'s what gauge metal sheeting did you use on the body ? And what did you use for a pattern for the body sides ? Did you just measure a c-cab or find dimensions/plans somewhere?

    Thanks.. I used 16 gauge,, The car like you see it weighed in at 2240, No measurements was taken from anything..I hand made this out of my head..Here's a few pictures from the start..Goggle Homemade C-cab and you will find out a lot about it...This was my son cutting the wood out for me... I was going to build it out of fiber glass, But told myself this one needed to be out of steel..
