Interesting packaging, sounds wild, and the thing will smoke the tires as black smoke billows out the exhaust. The guy drives like an idiot, but the car causes buzz.
I'm not too into the "be different for the sake of being different". It seems you have two (well three counting the being frustrated with customers) objectives; have a Deuce and power a rod with a diesel. Starting with Dave's comments and the supporting opinions, building for resale changes my opinion. If you throw that out then it's a "spend your time/money however you want". If I were to build on spec I'd go a different way (but then I don't like to waste money.................if I had Severson's money I'd throw mine away:D:LOL:). One would be a Diamond T or International pickup build to rod appearance but with the chassis and drive train to make it a great tow rig. That would appeal to a much bigger audience and be very cool. Or, some sort of '30s luxo sedan; big Nash, Packard, Cad, something like that, with a modern direct injection Euro passenger diesel...............go heavy on contemporary luxury.
