    One of the things I really admire about you Jimmy is your willingness to jump into virtually any build and do it. Something like this would have scared me but like you say, you go to school, learn and get it done. Can't wait to see the next video!

    I really admire Jimmy's ultra practical and uncomplicated approach to analysing and solving common problems encountered in his builds. When you can look past your limitations and intuitively improvise a solution for the problem at hand, on the fly, that is a hallmark of true genius.

    I own and operate concession trailers for a living. I also build and maintain my equipment myself. Every thing you did to build this is pretty much exactly how I build stuff so it’s cool to see someone else using the material and techniques that I use. It looks fantastic. One thing I never considered was gluing the 90 aluminum trim before riveting and or screwing it down. I’ll be doing that from now on. Great video and I’m glad I could learn something.

    More people should be like this. I strive to do as much as I can by myself, research and learn, and jump in and start making and creating. It's the best feeling in the world when you finish a project yourself that you might have paid someone else thousands of dollars to do for you, but you get to save all of that money AND have the satisfaction and the learning experience of doing it yourself. Knowledge is power.

    I did this about 6/7 years ago, the entire outside was sprayed with “Rinoliner” can’t recommend it too highly. If it not to late spray the bottom with it, it’s waterproof, bulletproof, and reasonably light. I’d be interested in how much this one weighs when your done (it’s something I worried about the entire build).
    Great job, fun watching it being built! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build.

      @@torjones1701 Good point, but I think it’s a figure of speech. For it’s designed purpose, I have to say it’s a good product. I did my truck bed when I bought it back in Sept. 2005. Still going strong and the only marks aside from fading is an occasional oil stain or two. I tow a 5th wheel and when lubing the puck, some of it can splatter on the liner….

Don't be surprised if you get more people asking you to build food trucks for them, for someone who hasn't built one before it really doesn't look that way with the job you've done. Really great job guy's!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
