Looks great from over here too Dave! Well done. . It's great to see a "Make do & mend" workshop, instead of the "Super slick, eat your dinner from the floor, twin lift,  , shops" us English come to expect from you Guys!

Thanks for the replies. Obviously, we're pretty proud of it. As for the "workshop", I didn't include the pics of the other locations which included my kitchen & living room! At times my living room was so filled with doors etc. being varnished, there was no place for me...

She's a real looker Dave!!! Great job! I need some advice on how to persuade my beautiful spouse that the kitchen and living room should be shared with my old Chevy truck. I could use the space!!!  ...After all, it is part of the family. Congratulations on a beautiful car!

Sure looks great. I am in the process of building a similar vehicle on a '31 1/2 ton chassis also from pictures. I am still at the stage of determining the sills and floor reinforcements. Your photos will help me decide which way I will go. Many thanks for posting them.

Thanks guys. Let's see...advice on persuasion: I'm not married, so I can't help you out there. All I had to say was "it's my living room, let's go to your place". Chipper, excellent! We need more Chevy woodies! Let me know if you need or want any specific view. The hard part here was, for us, figuring how to move the wood frame up over the rear axle and how to mount the rear fenders(see pic 8). this is one spot that we didn't think all the way through--the rear fenders stick out about 2-3" too far. Have fun! -dave

If I had known you were building one there is a real nice restored '31 in Worcester. Saw it about 15 years ago.
