Look forward to the build.
Thanks!

i'd like to have that drivers side vent on all my vehicles

get the vin and tag stuff all sorted out before you start the build
you got a good deal, $600 around here doesn't get you much
I thought it was a pretty decent steal, thanks!

I look forward to being able to use it someday!

Thanks, man. I recognize your truck and screen name from s10forum, I think?

And what gt30s are you talking? I thought those were under 60mm snails? Get at least a set of 62's!

I'm turboing my 3/4 ton as well, just finishing up on bodywork and paint. I will be going with a BW billet 80mm

I've been following your build for a while man, you've got some amazing sheetmetal talent.

I've always owned manuals, everything I drive is manual and that's what I like to drive, haha. The car is turbo'd and boost is addicting.

I just tossed GT30 out there, definitely not decided on turbo size as I haven't really done much research on the LS based motors.

I managed to stumble on a C4 complete rear end completely by mistake this week. I'll be picking it up soon, and it will be stored in the box of the truck until I wind up working on it. I can't say no to a solid deal.

Sorry fellas, again won't be many major updates for quite some time.
