Ben,

I started off with the idea of just throwing this thing together and drive. The deeper I got into the project the more I started to appreciate the truck and my wife's expectations of having something nice to cruise in...sent me in another direction. I did not want my truck build by a shop so I decided I could do it myself with help in areas I was not familiar with. Yes I will be the first to admit I have spent some money but it is well worth it. Totally enjoying this project. Had to feel my way around the truck and then I got my vision. Low, clean and reliable.

We have a lot of plating places here in Calfornia. Just sent a guy a picture of what I have. He says he does show quality for $300 to $400. Actually got to see some of his work. Waiting on a call back now.
