Ahem.
Well it would appear I'm the odd one out here.
Have you lately looked at Studebaker trucks from around the same era?
They too are not the 'prettiest' of trucks.
But to me that is the very thing that makes them appealing.
International A and S series are like belly buttons; everyone's got one.
But an L series...who else has one of those?
Our sport/hobby, call it what you will; is all about individuality.
Who wants to follow the crowd?
I don't...never have, never will. And I think most on here are of a like mind.

I'd say if I was looking for another project I'd jump at it. Especially with Mr techinspector1's 'How To' guide.
Go for your life Seth.
You've well proved you are capable of building something bloody gorgeous.
