Looks like a great build. I'm looking forward to see this complete.

Also, You will get more views from this post in the 1st generation Dakota Sub-section, not many people look at the general non-specific forum. I would sugest to start new thread in the 1st gen Dakota section or hopefully a moderator can move this there for you.

Was just thinking about this a couple weeks ago. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Dang...not knowing much about welding besides my very amateur ability with a FC...those look like damn nice welds. And a sweet project. Hope he comes back to post.

What a tease! Looks good though.
