Re: Project OBS (Orange Blossom Special)

I'm really enjoying it, though it's hard when it competes with family time. Buying Kurt Linder's project was a very smart move for me, because it saved me roughly $7K in body work according to a number of body shops I talked with. I was able to part out so much of that truck that I wasn't going to use so I got most of my $$ back. And so far I'm very happy with my decision to restore the truck to mostly original specs. I love the classic look of these things and didn't want to go with modern wheels, motor, etc. We'll see if I still feel that way once I have her out on the road. If not, I figure I can always upgrade bits and pieces. But for now, restoring it to close to original is the way to go.
