thanks man I really like it kind of reminds me of my mini trucking days when I was younger riding toyotas yeah friday morning cant wait on the scallops I was almost gonna wait and maybe scallop the hood to but not quite sure I can always go back and do it later I just think that you can get carried away with them I like to keep it simple and clean if you know what I mean plus we have a show coming up in about 3 weeks so I need to knock some more things off my list so I can be ready (well as ready as I can get you know)

I'm thinking about it. I have a motor/tranny swap on my suburban and a supermoto conversion on my bike that i was doing before i got the new toy so i have a lot on my to do list. She runs and looks good right now so if i do it will be slow. "to much month at the end of the money" well and lots of beer

rained all day here so instead of trying to work out in it I decided to stay home and pull the truck in the garage and paint and detail the grill and paint the chevrolet on the tailgate gloss black (why couldnt they just put chevy back there)

[VA72C10]

Looks good! Like the gloss accents

My buddy is an old Caddy guy. All his builds are tail draggers. He said it makes the Cadilacs look like they have bodies in the trunk. He said "no body cuts off a car that looks like that"! You do what ya gotta do driving a big car in Boston traffic. Ha Haa.

Look forward to more on this! Love this build so far. It's amazing how different these simple trucks can look from each other.
