I am impressed by the range of your skill sets, the quality and attention to detail and the short time frame start to finish and if I have it correct, you are in your 20's. The minimum time to do a vehicle like your truck ground up would be not less that 1000 hours. The only vehicle that I logged my time was a 1938 Ford Woodie. Woodies unless you have mint wood and do not have to make any new structural wood pieces in my experience will take longer than a metal vehicle. I like you did all of my own work. The woodie took me 1700 hours. I was in my prime and not my first ground up when I did it. All of this goes to the demonstrate how significant the short time frame was for you. All this while serving our country and flying helo's iirc. I am appropriately impressed!

Only 14 months to re-create a fine express bed truck. I'd give you more rep points if I could - but I have to 'spread some more around first' according to the site rules.

No doubt you will inspire some of us here to pick up the tools and make some dust fly in the shop.
