Grigg, nice work. Your last few pictures, cab resting on the back, give new meaning to the term "long-nose." (Couldn't resist that...)

Thanks, Yep, the cab back there does look kinda funny. It's just a convenient place to store it that does not take up any more shop space.
It does remind me of a cartoon drawing from the spring 2008 Kanter catalog, page 13, of a "Fairbanks-Dodge Engineers' Coupe" about a 1947 Dodge truck with the cab just over the rear axle, a really long hood with three sections of "butterfly wings", also running boards and railings set up like a locomotive. Really sharp looking, so much so that when I got the catalog in the mail and saw the picture I emailed them to ask about it, and see if I could get a full size copy to frame. One day (when I have money and time, or just lots of money) I would like to build a Dodge just like that, probably start with a model WJA truck, but instead of a Fairbanks engine, a Tandem Detroit 6-71T (one 6-71 in front of the other) would be more to my liking.
