Teen from Florida
Well, 16 years old here, bought my first truck. I've always had a passion for older trucks rodded out and have set way to getting mine there. You tend to get sick of the little hand me down Saturn after a while. I'll be posting a progress thread soon with some pictures.

Wow, thanks for the great welcome guys, I'll start the progress thread later tonight, as I have a load of homework I gotta do. Like the parents say, homework comes first.
