Hey Dirt - just a quick question about your restoration philosophy. When you do a ground-up restore like you are doing, do you try to use all new bolts/nuts/etc. or do you prefer to try and use the originals and clean them up as best you can?
Hey Dawg,

I beed blast any and every nut and bolt that is reuseable.

Lookin' great Dirt[thumbzup] Once again, your work is impeccable. I was wondering when you were going to throw us a fix.

Question: What is the hollow cylinder used for on the very right rear frame? Also, is that the steering box mounted inside of the left running board (excuse the ignorance:oops:)?

Have you started it since the rebuild? I may have missed it if you already replied on this. Oh, I too hope your next garage has wider doors.:razz:

If you don't mind, what does it roughly cost to do a front end w/cab? Is the place in JAX?
