it seems soo counterproductive to buy a fully restored street rod to just rip it all apart. the truck your building is magnificant - but why couldnt you find a perfect body without a drivetrain? I mean, for what you paid for your truck you probably could have just the same bought one of those brand-new cabs they now sell...
its just hard to see like every piece of a nice rebuilt truck ripped away...
ALL That being said ------
Very nice truck your building there - is there only 1 rendering of the final truck? how will the interior look? specs on rims/tires? we want more info!

It's all good.
I bought it "restored" thinking it would be a daily driver for a few years before I started the process of maybe re-painting and redoing the suspension.
Well, a few years turned into about one month, then started the vicious obsession to have it lay out on the ground, and when it was brought to my attention I might be able to have the first complete Porterbuilt setup on a 56, that was it. My brain got the best of me - and here we are now.
Why leave good enough alone?
The old frame, drivetrain and everything is not wasted - it's already been used as a transplant for another project.
But yeah, I get it. Gotta have a few screws lose to blow that pretty looking truck apart.
