Cool Truck! Keep us up to date on the progression! :)

nice , cant wait to see it complete

is it going to be a rat rod or will you make is a show truck?

not going to be a rat rod
more of a bonneville inspired rod
going to look like it was built in the late 50's to run on the lake bed
should be kinda neat
got alot of work to do

nice if i was working on it i'd make it a rat rod i'd leave the paint as it is and fix up the rest. when you finish it you should take it to the salt flats for some photos.
