Thanks!! There's lots of builders of the 1935 to 1940 chassis - but I like the way Roadster Shop does theirs. It's just solid and will serve me well as a DD.

My duramax is amazing when towing, but It's kinda dumb to fire it up every day for the 4 mile commute to the shop!
Looking good!

Steve --- Once I moved to Sun Valley -- where my normal driving is done a 25 MPH and I get a 4 block stretch at 35.... and the big trip for the day is running down to my "shed" --- a whopping 15 miles - mostly at 55 MPH or less.... Doesn't make sense to drive anything too fancy -- or too fast... So this pick up should serve me just fine. I had Gwen sell her Cayenne Turbo because most of her driving is about 3 or 4 miles total - at low speeds.... and my thought was that in the winter around here - the turbo oil would be sluggish as hell. So she got the GTS - and frankly we both like it WAY better. Better torque - and for me - lower to the ground. LOL
This pick up is going to be nothing but my DD -- and I agree with you - the hard part will be to keep it simple - and use materials and products that can hold up -- not need polishing - and if it gets dirty - so what.
Now -- trying to hold Tracey's (The Recovery Room) feet to the fire when he does the interior will be fun..... I want simple - clean - early - RUGGED... dog can puke on it and nobody will know... "style". LMAO
