Well the cold weather has been slowing me Down a little , and the daylight savings gets dark to quick , I wanted to build it inside the shop but I only have 10' doors , and it will be 10'7 with the rollaround tires so had to do it outside

Well, when I walked in there, the snow fell of my boots, and when it hit the concrete, it didnt melt

I had a big furnace in there last year, and I burned lots of waste oil, of every type, but I got rid of it cause I ran out of room.
Time for a new garage, I suppose.

I like where this build is going. This is the kinda truck you would find in a horror movie chasing you down a dark road!
