Impressive as hell!

I honestly thought you'd bitten off more than one man could chew when I saw the first photos back when you began. You've made great headway.

I'm still amazed how you've taken a pile of rust in the vague shape of a truck and had so much success turning it back into a vehicle.

Good luck with the engine.

Did you get a new badge, or have you been idly polishing the old one?

You ever have one of those times, when you're looking at something totally familiar but, due to some peculiarity of angle, you just can't tell what the hell it is you're seeing?

That's what happened when I saw the latest picture. I was trying to make the rear of the vehicle become the front and the bottom of the cab become the rear window :psyduck:

This is easily my favourite thread in AI. It's mesmerising watching this grand old truck come back to life.

Every time you update, I'm more and more amazed at the transformation from rust bucket to actual truck.

The weather looks like it will be alright on Sunday, so if all goes well I should have an engine by Sunday afternoon.

Well blow me down, congratulations!

With the engine in place, once you start it the truck counts as technically alive again.

Do you see where I'm going with this? The dildo is a part of that van's personality at this point. You need to find a way to keep it in the van.

Every time I see it like that, it looks like an old horse-drawn milk float.

And because it got me wondering - why are they called floats? The best I could find on the internet is "nobody knows."
