That is very impressive work. All the years i was a diesel mechanic, i never got to build a custom truck. I have worked mainly on repairing over the road trucks, for freightliner, peterbuilt and PDQ transport (keen transportation). I left the repair industry because noone offered real benefits. If they had, i would still be wrenching on over the road trucks today, but nothing like you guys are doing.......

That's awesome man, glad to hear success stories. I wish i had one to compare, but noooooooo. I just do this as a hobby, not really good enough to do it full-time. I wish i had a little more talent, but i recon that will just come with time and more builds.
