Wow:metal:

Amazing job on the truck and amazing skills. I want to thank you for sharing this build. Its being able to watch others like yourself build rides and share the details that teaches someone like me building my first truck. I don't have the time to learn any other way then on the forums and in my garage so thank you.

The frame is absolutely amazing!! And everything else follows suit. Great job man.

You are welcome. This is how I learned. I am not the best welder or metal worker in the world but I learn a little everyday. Thanks for following

Ok I am back at it as we speak I had to move some brake line and air lines around to make room for the headers. I also had to move the proportional valve that sucked. I put a catch tank on the rear end it is all -4 an fitting. The tank was built buy mooneyes. I also have one for the engine enjoy. I also have a guy coming out to look at the exhaust today so I hope to have it done in the next two weeks. I also fixed the frame myself so it is tucked up now.

I have confidence that some other company will buy the rights to all that stuff. After all, where would we be without Twinkies, the breakfast of champions or one of the mainstays of the Texas State Fair, deep fried Twinkies?

And the president was re-elected and promised job creation and supports the unions. The union is part of the reason for the closure. It is a sad day in America, not only the Twinkie, but Wonder Bread too...

Quote from the internet: "We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike," Chief Executive Gregory Rayburn said in a statement.

"Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders," Rayburn added.

Sorry for the off subject post, but this just chaps my a$$.

No back to your regular scheduled programming...

X2. This is just the latest in a long line where people think they are entitled to their stuff, killing the golden goose as they go.
