Another epic build! The icing on the cake is the siren on top of the cab. Hilarious!

Awesome! Mike has hardwoods in the shop. Once you use it you will never go back to that Home Depot crap pine. Hehe

If someone came by with that sort of timber on a truck in OZ they would be going to a wood show and selling it for a few grand.
The rod you are building Fozzy looks like it was/is used on a dirt track raceway for quick recovery jobs.
Get into some timber stains then spray varnish much easier than paint, better still get someone else to paint thats what I do(if i can)
