it looks like a pretty solid body other than above the windshield there.

i don't really have any valuable input here, but i just wanted to post about how cool I think it would have been to build any kind of car at "school". the best I did was in high school with the new temporary shop teacher (after ours "left" after being accused of molesting a student) we successfully tore apart a mid 90's v6 mustang and roughly the same year mark viii. the plan was to put the mark viii engine in the mustang and put the 3.8 in a van...why im not sure because the mark viii was very low mileage and could have been made into a pretty cool car . instead we destroyed two running cars

good luck...i think that could be a cool low buck truck and with the program name on the doors would attract attention to the program. one thing you might want to watch is how low budget the truck appears...from the name it sounds like you do a lot of high tech stuff and may want it a step up from a rat rod covered in rust...
