You seem to grasp what I'm talking about when I say "customize". I see the build threads where everything is stripped off the frame and "NEW" drop member, trailing arms, crate V8 and shocks and brakes are bolted on. It looks fantastic and I like the results. We all know that the new parts cost LOTS of money, but what gets me is that the progress is usually blazing fast and folks are putting a freshly sandblasted cab and doors on the frame in the same time it takes me to finish rebuilding my front suspension to stock drums!
Yeah, I know. I should quit whining!
Maybe I should just go sand something. LOL!
