    I'll miss it too, Bill. Gotta sacrifice some stuff for the greater good, though.

    Jeez, I sound like a presidential candidate.

    JJ, I think I'm going with stock thunderbird red on the block. Old Offy valve covers, Offy 3x2 with 97s.

    Wheels are up in the air. I have 16" steelies and 17" wires. Either way they'll be black. And tires will be black wall. I'll probably go with tires on the 16s first.

    Mark,

    She'd Beautiful! I'd have been shitting myself driving down 95 with that nice a piece on 4x4s over the top rail of the bed. Glad it's (and you) are home safe and sound.

    Jeff, it took a while to get used to it. But with the 4x6s ratchet strapped down, and the body ratchet strapped through the floor, it wasn't really gonna go anywhere. It does look a little redneck rigged though. haha

    You must be confused. The wheels are supposed to be on the ground! :D

    Seriously though, I've been following along on IG. The body turned out awesome! I look forward to seeing this thing continue to come together.
