  • I have long thought that if it is a truck/SUV it is for use in situations where you don’t care about dents and paint scratches and thus those are not factors in the value. Dealers and car rental places would quickly figure out that they cannot legally look for such things, but customers will find a reason to buy a different one and so they would stop leasing or renting trucks/SUVs. They may still lease/rent truck/SUV shaped objects, but they will count as light cars for MPG purposes and so cost a lot more.


  • I’m using black walnut for the sides and cherry for the top/back. The walnut was sourced from a fallen tree on my property a few years back (the tree was small though so if anything goes wrong I won’t have enough have may have to substitute something else). The cherry from a tree my grandpa had cut just before he died. I’m currently cutting up an ash tree that I hope to turn into the neck.

    As for bracing, I’m not sure, but probably whatever plans I found online show.

    The above is of course the plan, and subject to change as I discover something in it will/cannot work.
