That looks really nice. I could use another rack too. :lol: Is it steel or aluminum, guessing steel?

Not much to update but I want to get started again.
I've been working on a 1948 Willys truck for a friend and that should be done for awhile.
I did cut out those stupid little tail lights for the better option of 1978 Chevy van lights :o
