well guys im finally going to start my build thread that i ve been putting off for the last month or so. i figured it was the least i could do after all the help and support i have gotten from everyone on the forum. im kinda limited on pics befor i started the resurrection, but i will post what i have. i have already fixed some of the things the PO called him self fixing, drove it for about 1 month then tore it all the way down to the bare frame. right now i have already sandblasted and repainted the frame basically the truck is ready for the body to go back on but i will give details w/ the pics in a few days.
OK as for the name "wife beater" i came up w/ the name for the build after my wife informed me that after i finish the initial rebuild and befor any motor mods are made she gets first dibs on a grudge race @ our local drag strip, "HUGE BRAGGING RIGHTS WILL COME OUT OF THIS".
