Good progress Mike!

Now, if a body/paint guy is promising (or maybe that should be promissing since they're pros at missing deadlines ) 2-3 months you know you've got 6. DO THE TRUCK!!

Last weekend I saw a '38 Dodge that would knock your socks off. It was done VERY well, painted black and deserved to be. Even the wheels were black, with black wall tires. In words it sounds boring or bland, but in person the workmanship was SO good it just grabbed your attention. The interior was done with stock style brown, heavy grain vinyl, but in a nice pattern. The stance was right on. At first I was curious why the rear fenders looked wider than I thought I remembered they should be, and the stock looking steel running boards didn't look like they'd been widened, though they fit the fenders just right. Once the owner showed up I found out it had started as the longer 3/4 ton model which had wider fenders and matching running boards. He'd just shortened the frame and bed to match the length of a 1/2 ton. Anyway, it made me think of your truck that you had the good sense to buy back.
