You are doing some beautiful work, it's hard to believe that you will be putting a body on that frame.
Just put it in the living room and start with another project truck.
Absolutely stunning!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Nothing wrong with conserving a little (or a lot) of cash once in a while! And it will be nice to know you have something that is "known" dependable under the hood while you work out the inevitable other kinks that always show up initially on a build. Looking good! Still have to be some of my favorite wheels ever
