    Looking forward to seeing more of this project with great anticipation.

    Please keep posting here and bring along as much of the other stuff as you can. It took me years to finally get completely shed of facebook and I refuse to open anything with their name on it... I don't imagine I'm the only one. Thanks for sharing.

    When that is done, people are not going to believe that you didn't start with an original old truck. IT is that nice.

    I’m not sure what else to add. Fricking outstanding sheet metal work. I’ve been considering building my own copy of a 32 Ford sedan body, due to the crazy high costs of original or Brookville stuff. I think my version would like like child’s play compared to yours...

    So in the first pic I think your banging out a roadster pick up back panel and then the doors look like closed cab and then it hits me, you take perfectly good sheets of metal beat the heck out of them with finesse and devotion and turn them into a truck cab. Then you make fenders too, and running boards and the pick up bed. Shoot next i suppose you'll make the dash. Pretty dang amazing work my friend. Out here in So Cal we call that bitchen.

    The cab has a Dimond T look to it which I really like.

    That’s an impressive effort. I have been fabricating various panels for the last few years and this build will no doubt give me some clues.

    Not too many people can build a body from scratch. That is just fantastic!

    Little update on the hot rod, front fenders are finished up, rad shell is done and I've made up the stainless steel grill. Lots of parts still to make, and lots of fine tuning but the basic look is complete .

    I cant say anything that aint been said. Simply amazing would be an under statement.
    On a lighter note, how is to wake up in da morning and know you dont have to buy anything, just make it? Has to be a different world. Wow, just wow......
