i've been needing a new project since getting my truk done
i have a 59 1 ton panel that i've owned since 1977
it's rough to say the least

i don't have the time or money to restore it
but... this picture made has thinking about making a roadster out of it

my concept roadster panel
chop the top off at the belt line even with the top of the front fenders
lower the cowl and flatten the hood
Z the frame under the passenger compartment so the bottom of the frame is even with the rockers

from this

this is a swb panel, mine is lwb panel. 8ft bed frame.
i could make it with a self storing hard top and a tonneau cover.
unfortunately the panel is in north carolina, i'm in michigan.
am i just being silly?
