OK, lets see how this goes:
I'm building a driveable replica of the Dodge Deora show truck. Not the Chip Foose Deora II, but the original Deora conceived by Harry Bentley Bradley, and built by Mike and Larry Alexander (The A Brothers).
Mine has been in the works for around three years now, being constructed on a part-time basis in my little one-car garage up here on the Cold Lake, Alberta (Canada) Airforce base.
It's been a real challenge to put this vehicle together as I don't have a catalogue to order parts out of (as there's only ONE real Deora), and I can't exactly sidle on up beside the real version to grab measurements. Although that would be TOO awesome to be able to do so! Therefore, I extrapolate information from whatever I can lay my greedy mitts on, be it plastic models, original artwork, or vintage photographs.
So, if you're interested, I have an on-going journal to view at www.hotrodders.com. Take a peek, and try not to laugh too much at my efforts, as amateurish as they are! I'll also endeavor to carry this activity over onto this website, depending on interest level.
