Yes I do have a few $$ into it. This is my 5th build in 15 years. Up next is a 54 Panel. I also have a

9 GM trucks 55-66 and 8 "other brands" since 2002. Not many were completely restored/restomod like yours. Just one restomod and one original.

That’s why I’m having trouble thinking outside the box. You all have been a life saver. I appreciate the help. Really I do.
