Welcome. I understand where you are coming from in regards to now having the knowledge to start over now that you have the experience of your first attempted build. I love my truck but it would have been nice to have the knowledge when I bought it that I do now after 3 years of working on it.
I would not have made it as far as I have without this group and all the help they have provide.
In regards to your truck. OMG! it is GREAT. I have a 54 but I really love the art deco styling of the 40's era trucks. It is your build but I would be working on the mechanics (brakes, drive train and engine keeping it original) and call it done. Would you be interested in selling it?
