Hi group,
thanks for the opportunity to share and brain pick. I've been toting this sheet metal around for years and am getting fired up about making something with it. I found a beautiful COE in northern CA a few years back, what I have to work with is a very sound complete body with no chassis. I make my living by painting artwork that mostly consists of derelict trucks that I have found in the landscape. I can see my personal ride as a rusty truck, streetable, dependable and safe and slammed in the weeds.
My interest at this point is in selecting a suitable chassis for a foundation that may become a mid engine or not. maybe a half ton p/u for starters. Has anyone here tackled this kind of project, I appreciate any thought, suggestions, experience that you can provide. I'm an old guy that wants to do a rod/art project in before another reason pops up to not do it.
Thanks in advance and thanks for including me in your community.
