OI, that idea is the one I think of the most. I wanted the 'cool' look of a '36 on my trailer pulling rig, but the Saskatchewan guy beat the 'cool' out of his and is left with a tiny cab without air-conditioning and mirrors that can see around his trailer. He went to a lot of work to get that, too.
Actually, a friend once asked me, "how many more ten year projects do you have in you," and I had to stop and ponder the length of my future. My answer could be, "I'm going to slow down in my one hundred and thirties, so I better factor that in."
I may never get to my old truck pulling rig, so the Saskachewan guy is a way ahead of me, at least he got his done.
