    Thanks for the kind words, sir. This is my favorite post so far. You made the cab section look easy, and it's not. If I recall correctly, that's pretty much the same as the "Dream Truck" was done. Been considering doing the same to mine, you have tipped the scales more towards me doing it! May have to send you more $ for wire, as you're going to use a ton. My truck is going to be built like I would have built it back in the 70's, when I was a kid, if I'd had the money then. Was going to use a MII front for disk brakes, but may not use the front out of my 50 Belair. Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration for an old, fat, metal bender like me!

    " I'm liking it; this is fun!" Kyle I am as previously stated, well into my 70's and spent 50 years in heavy equipment and diesel mechanics, Over the past years since retirement, I have admired the skills of metal workers, body men, panel beaters and restorers. Here you are in your early 30's, doing things I can only dream about and regret the trade choice I made, but that's how life goes. It is all about passion and learning and you have both in abundance! Your shop is like my shed looks as I restore old open wheel Aussie TQ's and Formula 500 speed cars (midgets). I love watching your work and listening to and how you simply pass on your knowledge and skills to us, the unknowing, This post on how you analysed, measured and went about sectioning the body, was something I never knew how to do and the match up after the cut, was damn near perfect! Sincerely, thank you for doing and posting these.

    Kyle, what a satisfying episode! It's clear you were pleased with the result of the doors--me too! I think you are onto something with the classical music--we are watching the creation of art, the music seemed appropriate. What you need is a helper, an Igor who can offer a third hand or help move cumbersome objects. Ideally it would be a teenager who hates school and was interested in the project. Fifty years ago such a kid would be available but they have all been lost now. If I lived closer I might volunteer.

Why look at what he does with the same stuff we have in our garage I mean no disrespect to the guys who have all the trick stuff but Kyle fixes the metal with metal when possible and that is what most of us are trying to do I admit none of my body work is going to finish with high build and a block but watching him helps us understand how to fix what we have.

    When you said 'Intermission' my mind went right to 'The Holy Grail'....
    The period correct approach using various GM parts/pieces for this Kustom is something I totally agree with.
    Anyone with deep pockets can put a 'bellybutton' ride together by simply ordering a ton of parts and bolting them together.
    In my opinion.... it takes a heck of a lot more talent, imagination, and craftsmanship to build what you are doing WITHOUT spending 10's of thousands of dollars.
    Keep up the great work!!!
