The truck never left the garage from scrap to paint, built by owner and given to my wife. Would I do another yes but I would look for a body without all the problems dents, rust and all that goes along with that. Building the hard parts is much easier then the body work, however I will also say once you get the hang of working with filler it is not all that bad. The painting has two problems, first it goes way to fast for the amount of time spent for prep. Two one really needs the room to paint, as in booth. I created a booth had a 3 ton blower from an AC air handler with a 10 in. duct attached . Piped it into the room, worked extremely well, that thing pulled the over spray out and I got a dirt free paint job
How about your Deuce Henry original , or newly popped

IMO that's still the most fun way to do them, Pepi!!!! and besides, if it was easy, everybody would be doing it and I would have had to have a real job for the last 40 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
