  16. your metal work makes up for your bad wood work :D. which is probably better than my wood work that is usually cut with a chainsaw and put together with a bunch of duct tape and liquid nail :D
    i think this thread is awesome your doing a great job on this build and from the looks of it you have to improvise a bit on your tools thats rad
    i need to get to work on my truck i need to quit procrastinating

    Uh Oh, stainless, next it will be billet, it'll be Brookville streetrod Pat for sure, stay away from the flowered shirts. Why are you doing a wood floor? The wood is rebelling, it's scared of you, but the metal is your friend, use the metal. Have fun.

    haha yea that will be the day. then ill have to grow a wacky mustashe and buy a billet wrench set.
    but i just have a lot of stainless at work so thats what i used plus i like welding stainless. the wood is gonna have some metal holding it together i dont have the biscuit groover cause my old man aint letting me borrow it and his jigsaw would have been nice too.

    Wow nice work. I'm not too good with wood either, and my dad taught the wood shop class at High School. So I did the interior of my roadster in tin. It took three separate attempts over a year or so. The trick for me is deciding to toss what you don't like and just start over, and over, and over...
