I'm back for another round..

15 years ago I used this site for my first project. A from off hot rod build on a 1953 Ford F100. Thanks to this site it turned out great, now I'm back with another one. I picked this 1954 up for $300, a little has been done but still needs a ton of work. I'm planning a shop truck build but still undecided exactly how to finish the exterior. Thanks for the past and thanks for the future.
