Finally got the steel done and painted yesterday morning. Late yesterday, got the steel on and began to lay the polyurethane down. Need to make the 502nd trip to the hardware store this morning for more carriage bolts. :h0231: :h0231:

Finally got back on the 6 speed special, and got the interior done and fuel tank built. Here is a photo of the seats. I found out after I started the post that I had the serial # wrong. It's actually a '28.

Re: 1930 6 Speed Special

Thanks for the comments guys, got the truck running and will try to post a video of it soon. I have a question for all that have commented. The truck is not perfect in many ways, but is a whole lot better than when I found it 5 years ago. How much do you guys value the truck? Wood is all oak with the exception of Walnut in the floorboards. Any advise appreciated!
