build threads
I have been reading and catching up on a bunch of build threads this past week. That got me wondering.. what is your favorite build? It can be your own, I mean that actually makes sense. Some of these build thread have over 500k views.. whew..

I have several favorites, this area has always been my spot.. but I think I liked following Kevins hillbilly deluxe build back in the day. I just like that truck plain n simple.

How about you? link your favorite build so we can see.

He would def be a top candidate for me as well. Kevin's builds are budget friendly, to the point, & smart/well thought out. Subtle changes & solid maintenance w/upgrades done in the driveway.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I'd love it if he did another build. Fortunately, I've seen him pop up a couple of times recently in general comments, etc.

Re: build threads
How about a little description and why you like the build when you post a link,
like Liz did. Cool?

I mistyped, at first yesterday I misread and thought it was your build. I edited my reply but not properly... way to much multitasking lol.


Any more?

thanks, I figured it would be more fun to discuss than just toss links. I am ok with links too though.
