Project '64 Cheapskate

John-
I am so glad that you finally visited my thread. I've posted on your threads in the past that I absolutely dig the work you do, so your compliment means a lot to me. I hold you in high regard because you always think outside the box and your attention to detail is impeccable.

I'd take this truck over the typical shiny custom any day just because of all the little details that are "right". So many of the "bling builds" are only surface deep and the little stuff is forgotten... I think part of the reason those type builds aren't driven is that they're not enjoyable when they are driven, because they were just thrown together from "cool" parts! You will have a true driver that is a blast to drive because everything has been designed to work in harmony.

I agree with this statement 100%. I want to DRIVE my stuff, not keep it in a padded cell and never bring it out. What's the fun in that? I want a vehicle that looks right, sits right, sounds right, feels right, and when I get caught out in the rain, I won't freak out about it. I'll just kick on the wipers, turn on the defrost, and crank up the tunes.

I had big plans to make my '55 a super-sanitary, detailed to the hilt show stopper. After a bunch of thought, I've had a change of heart because I know that I could never fully enjoy the truck if I did that. I have a feeling that the '55 will probably get sold before I ever finish it.
