Yo! tim23mn!
Geeze my head puffed up and about burst when I read your comment,...I feel SO proud!
A lot of work, as you can imagine, but well worth it to enjoy the result! Ya should feel what it's like to shift into front wheel drive in a LWB P/U on packed snow! Suddenly, it feels JUST like a FWD car!
My Camaro's engine just turned out PERFECT, so I used the same engine build for FRANKENTRUCK.
The two provide me with all-weather transportation 40 miles/day to and from work, plus cruise/work duty as needed. And allow me to remind other drivers of how cool the square bodies and 2ond gen Camaros looked!
Korea, huh? Take good care.
I'll look forward to your build thread! Let me know if I can help in any way! Just PM me!
Todd.
