Now entering the "soda wars" with my own little NH based (but available on the West Coast!) soda sponsor!

and, yes, I am also replacing the vinyl on the lower doors as well to keep with the original theme...just the vinyl hasn't yet arrived...

parts for the front suspension should be done and ship this week, so the engine cage and front end are just a couple heart beats and a few benjamins away...

Looks like you are making good project. Truck looks great in person.

Looks good.

Just so I can put a name with a face. You didn't happen to be working at an ascutney checkpoint when a rabbit caught on fire did you? I seem to remember working with someone that was building a truck like this. Marine if I remember correctly.

Did Cyrus talk to you about powder coating the parts? The powder coating place is essentially in the same parking lot.
