Pretty new to the forums here, but found this gem of a thread.
What a badass build bro, nice to see something a little different going on. I like how you are going to incorporate the old with the new.

I have a '53 International harvester ( I'm the 2nd owner, other than my great grand dad)
One day I hope to have the time and money to do something great with it.

Keep up the good work bro, wish I was closer to the East Coast, would love to pop in and check it out (I'd bring the beverages of course)

The f6 is gonna be sweet. As always I call driving swagger to shows once the f6 is done. Called it a long time ago but wanted to put it in writing.

Hey Petey, the next time we move the F6 on my trailer from one shop to the other, you can sit in it and "steer".

I'm not sure how that might go along with my calling shotgun forever ago... (deferring to the GF, of course. )

I'm sure it'll all work out.
