Affordability is my biggest issue at the time. In a about a year from now I will really be able to start putting a little money into it, but its not gonna keep me from making slow progress on it now! As far as access to tools and facilities I'm fortunate enough that two of my best friends are a welder and one works in a body shop. It is probably easy to say that if I don't have what I need one of then will or have access to it. It's been a dream of mine for a long time to build my own custom truck and I'm finally to the point where I'm ready to tackle it! It's kind of overwhelming all the decisions that have to be made ,but I have ideas and I willing to compromise a little as long as my end result is the same. I'm to the point now where I'm ready to box the frame and I'm planning ahead for the suspension. I'm not sure what suspension I will end up going with but I do know I want it to get LOW and look good of course!
