Hello everyone,

the windshield is not installed yet but to distract
today came the radiator and other parts.

I started working on the installation of the radiator
because I can not wait to hear my V8

Was not a nice bed on my truck, but just a big piece of wood, very ugly. I bought all new

G'day Frank,
Your little truck seems to be progressing very nicely. It just looks divine. I hope you have some luck soon on that windshield rubber. I cannot wait to see the video of you cruising the streets in it. Keep up the great work.

Regards, Trently.

Anyone know if Frank ever got his truck finished and what he did about the windshield?
