Thank you guys, you helped me a lot to get here!
There's a ton of info here on this board.

 

Yesterday there was a small local gathering and the PO was also there with his '54 pickup.
It's funny, it was exactly two years ago that I've purchased the Panel from him.

 

What did he say about his old truck?

 

He was really happy to see it on the road, jumped in with a grin on his face.
The only thing he didn't like was the bodywork and I perfectly understand that.

 

I wasn't aware that the Panel was featured on the main page.

It's a good summary, the only thing is I'd rather not call it a rat.
I know it's still rough, but it's a work in progress. I want to leave that status behind.

 

You've done a great job so far considering what you started out with, my hat is off to you..don't worry about the pigeon hole the site put it in, I don't think the administration knows much about the trucks anyway...lol
