The wood was done by an other man; he did an outstanding job. My son and I are keeping this truck as original as we can afford. How ever we are putting a 1950 motor, transmission front and rear end in place of the one that came out. The transmission was a box of rust, as was the first two cylinders in the motor. I thought that the better brakes that the 1950 provide would be nice as well. http://www.flickr.com/photos/71138077@N00/4849653363/sizes/l/in/set-72157624815296278/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/71138077@N00/sets/72157624815296278/ Latest Project Pictures

I finally got a chance to get the 1930 in the Gallery. We were not able to download but one image from the Flickr account. If you have a better one for the Gallery just send it along.
(Email is down now. Not sure when it may be up. But do send one if you want.)
