Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Drew,your truck is more incredible in person.Drew is a great guy,he took about 10 mins to chat with me about his truck.There was always camera's going off and people pointing the whole time we were talking.We talked about my burb project and some of the neat cars there.Good luck on the rest of your power tour journey.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I remember when I came and picked up the burb chassis that Drew showed me the truck that he was going to use for the conversion. He told me he was going to use the quad and all I said was wow. I was thinking this is going to be interesting. Knowing that the quad was a little wider in the rear. Drew I'm glad to see that you pulled it off. Great job!!

Wow, that was a while back. You are on page one of this build. I forgot that I had told you the Quadrasteer plans way back then. It's been a fun journey.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Guys, I checked this thing out today @ the Power Tour Finale' @ Lone Star Park, Grand Prairie TX..... UNREAL!

Absolutely gorgeous truck. The details are hard to keep up w/& he's a great guy to boot in person. Outstanding job my internet friend!! Hopefully we can work through the air-ride bugs & make things 100% perfect.

Have a safe trip home w/your kids.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

I agree 100% with you Scoti. Drew is real down to earth humble guy. I met him and checked out his truck for about a half hour yesterday. The pictures really don't do justice to how nice his truck is.


Enjoy your weekend Drew and safe journey home!

Sounds fun, but no dice. My son is coming home from a month long mission trip to Africa that Saturday.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Glad you had a great time on the tour. Great work Drew. Quadrasteer just puts that thing over the top.

When are you putting in the fourth door?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I saw it today in person. I thought I had been following the build pretty closely but I completely missed the quad-steer part of it. No one was around so I did not get to shake your hand but the truck looked great.
