Very interesting build. I enjoy seeing the progess. You seem to be very matter-of-fact and it seems to keep you progressing steadily.

Thanks. If you have any questions just give a holler and I'll gladly share any info I have.

Thanks. I try to just keep putting one foot in front of the other or more like a chess match, just keep advancing when I can and retreat when I have to.

Here are a few pics taken this past weekend when I was finally able to put the bed back on and fabricate mounts for my fuel cell.

Nice, looks like a truck again. How much do you think you will have into just the suspension work with bags etc. Trying to figure out about how much I need to save up going with the Zeed frame like you did. Can't wait to see it finished.

I think all in around $1000. That's including plating steel, welding wire/gas, etc.
