Damn, it's been way too long of this "I've got no shop n no garage" bullsh**!

On the subject of meticulous one off work, one of the last things I did, while quitting smoking was to use up a bunch of small blank hardwood I had lying around making cigarette packs.
It was just to pass the time till a kid offered me 75 bucks for one. I then made 35 more (only finished the strap on 3) and sold #2 for 100,#3 for 150 and the last for 200.
F***ing Brooklyn. You could sell those kids ice if you called it "artisan".

Looks great Matt!

I took it as far as I could and needed to get the parts back to the already restored chassis for further fitting. They are still waiting for a couple of metal body panels to be metal finished so that we can determine what the front floor looks like and where it starts and stops.
The simplicity of vehicles of this era is great, this truck sat for somewhere around 40 years or more outside largely ignored and after a carb rebuild and a fluid change they say it runs fine. The brakes took more effort but after those were finished they were actually driving it around for some time before it was dismantled.

One more notch on your resumé belt.
