Well works started a few months ago on the new split edition to the family. My wife's 40th surprise present and boy was she surprised ;)
Plan is keeping it ratty out side with the top section old white and new interior. She's named after the classic Jerry Lewis film The nutty professor's character "Miss Purdey" if you haven't seen it download it now!!
Rust you say? yes indeed the whole back pretty much needs rebuilding but the cab it not bad.
Let the fun begin :)

And shitty chassis rust

On to the rack again and cutting/welding chassis sections in.

Oh god no, limbo for me, I'm going to leave off the top floor for last so i can do it all from the side ;)
The wifes callin the shots so its original looking maybe a little lower but no slammed or anything radical.
