Thanks Dan! I'm seeing your truck get burried way back in the shop, behind all of the new projects!
Sounds like he wants to get the truck done soon. I like the idea of getting it quicker and for quite alot cheaper, the way you need it, vrs. tearing it apart after they just assembled it!

Yeah Steve, that was why Dan decided to just get a new body rather than use his old one. He started looking at all the jobs that needed done to make an 80 year old body straight enough and nice enough for paint. He still had a couple months work in it with his work schedule. He has a brand new Brookville bed on the car and it is as straight as an arrow so he figures the new body will save him time and money in the long run.

(Plus, I got a new project out of the deal..............of course that wasn't the reason I kept agreeing with him to buy the new one..........no, not me!! )

I'm sure with Dan's tendencies the new body is the right choice, just think how many changes he'll make to begin with with, calculate the time involved, add the staring at the truck factor, divide by body work time, multiply by sore back, frame flipping, add 7% sales tax(eye lid raising) well I get where your coming from!

Plus, now he may actually get his rod running while I'm still alive to see it !!
