Well got some info on the truck - not quite what I am after.

Reliability of this one not up to what I am after and as much as I respect all the hard work and passion people put into their builds - I am willing to pay to get what I really want done by a pro. I don't want to have 2 trucks - it just doesn't make sense.
On the bright side it has helped me reconfirm what I am really after. Looks like my best route it to keep an eye out but also start building my requirements. Once I have that all figured out (1/2 way there really) I'll see who I can find to build it for me - understanding that it won't be cheap. I'm hoping to be able to do that in Canada - so far the one hot rod shop I went to and checked out at their open house in Calgary was a bit too dismissive for my liking, maybe because I'm a woman they didn't think I was serious.
I will keep perusing this awesome forum/site and pop back from time to time. Thanks for all the input - it really helped me decide.
