Sorry guys, we have been busy the last few weeks with friends visiting so I haven't been on this as much as I would like to.

I was referring to the wooden cab hoist that I attach to the cherry picker. It made life so much easier and it was great that I could do it by myself.

Not too many unfortunately. A lot of chassis work at the moment.

As for the chassis keeping the original frame is really cool but trust me when I say its a bunch of work. In addition to AME I would look at NO LIMIT and SCOTTS HOTRODS. I've been happy with my stuff from Scotts and I've called No Limit a couple times with tank questions and they always pick up their phone. Both companies stand behind their product.

Thanks, my father is incredibly talented with a paint gun and after learning how much a quality paint job costs I have a new level of respect for those guys. I love the orange, I will end up probably scuffing it with CLR to brighten it up and go from there.
I can definitely understand your point on the chassis and looking at an after market, however I really wanted to take this project on myself. A ton of work, yes, however I am looking forward to everything I am going to learn. I may be cursing those words down the road.
