Re: Dutch 1955 build
X 2 with what Kim said, Its been kinda like watching a movie for 6 months, such a quality build coming together so quick!
BTW I must say some of the backround shots in your garage have been serious eye candy, you have some nice toys there!

Re: Dutch 1955 build
I have been watching this since you started this thread. I must say that truck tuned out great. The fabrication you did really set this truck apart from the others. Good job.

Not sure what that means, but I second that!!! Great attention to detail. Interior is one off and well executed. My hats off to you.
Thanks for sharing the build with us.
