    Smokinss, my sentiments exactly. My build will be a lot like his. He is a true craftsman.

    Hey guys, thanks for the very generous comments.



    Said it before, and I'll say it again, fun to build and fun to share. So the deal is you have to post your builds and pictures and we all learn together. That's what I've been doing. Thanks again.

    Paint Done, Body Mounted

    Well today was another huge milestone. Took the chassis to the shop and it was all hands on deck to drop the body on. Amazing how much easier it is with 4-5 people. Then my son and I spent a couple hours getting the mounting bolts in and panels installed. Still some alignment work to do with the hinges, but close. This is how it looks. Offered without too much comment. First pics inside right after the body install was done. Last pics outside before loading back into the trailer. Needless to say, it really pops in the sunlight. The shop did a great job, and seemed genuinely pleased that I was happy with it. The color is Ford RZ Red Candy 2.
