WOW , all that fabrication time , so that you can have

Pretty good fabrication, considering he taught himself to weld just so he could do the project!
Anybody with enough guts/character to take on a project like this one, and finish it, deserves a pat on the back.
Truly genius.

Why the hell would anybody waste that much time on a HUMMER! Why not just buy a freaking HUMMER:banghead:
"what a waste of time and energy..."
you obviously don't enjoy creating things......some people do and if we all had the same views the world would be pretty boring.....
The truck body looks great to me....its a shame the donor truck is so old and to me not worth using with the body....so much time and effort and then adding some old crap

he could have put it on a Range Rover frame, and had something that could actually be driven off-road, when he wasn't cleaning the leaking oil off his driveway
I respect the work he did and I enjoy creating things, but what's the point in putting nice work into something that is going to be a piece of shit after your done with it? His work is nice, but the project is just goofy. And the engine and suspension are pieces of shit. That's all I'm saying.
At least he didn't put that body on a broke down POS Land Rover. I have a ton of respect for craftsmen like him. He saw something he wanted and built his own truck from the ground up. Whether you like Hummers or not is beside the point, anyone can build up there truck, it's quite another thing to build and fabricate you own truck and parts. Hats off to the guy.
As much as I'm not a fan of the Ford Truck platform I would love to be able to weld and fab like that. Check this guy out. Self - tought and building quite a rare car.

Why does it matter how old it is? If what he is using is straight and rust free why does age matter? And from what I can tell hes going to rebuild/clean up the engine over the winter.

If you've gone to the level of spending 3 years building a complete truck body from scratch....i would have thought it would be worth
mounting on either a modern chassis and suspension or a custom job.
Why put in so many hours to build something that performs like a 1970's truck.
Take the drive train and chassis and build suspension that will do the body justice, thats all
