That's how I see it too. I have to say that the five years I spent building my truck was much more fun than driving it. It was exciting to finally have it going under it's own power but building is where the fun is. That's why I'm starting all over now on my 49 F-1.

 

What was that Ed? There's something about a slantcab . Now that is what I'm taking about.

 

well despite all that was said and what i have learned , i obviously didnt learn anything ........... my 49 is sitting here and day after day of looking at it wanting to restore , but knowing it'd be a parade princess if i got it done has led me to go and do something bordering on lunacy once again ......................... surely there is a doctor or someone who can medicate my mind to prevent such craziness ..................... give me a few months and i'll be able to add another chapter to this thread LOL!!!!!!!!!! this one will be done though .................. stop laughing really it will . d-mm-t stop laughing i can here you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm just getting started good on the 49 F-1 but my wife and my buddy still inform me that I should have bought one that was already fixed up. I'm having to hire a lot of help but will do all I can myself. It's the challenge of fixing one up and saving it from a crusher of the Rust Monster. When you buy a fixed up truck it will always feel like "Their truck" to me.
Just my 2 cents worth, Mike

 

aw hades just tell 'em it's your " emotional therapy " for yourself , fixing it up yourself , your way mike !!!

 

Checked out the body work links. Very nicely done.
