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

[drewskiren]

We're back at the lake again this weekend, so no real internet. I do have the dash finished and installed, but I'm not able to post a pic. I know, I know - pics or it didn't happen. I'll hit y'all up Sunday.

Not yet, and I've lost them. There's quite a few items like that that I still need to finish, but nothing that really matters for the Power Tour.

In this area I don't know if I've seen that many quadrasteer trucks on the road. Never have seen one at an insurance auction.

It looked difficult to get it fit under the stock bed w/o flares. Now I want to do that to my suburban. Maybe I need to brainstorm something better. If I come up with something I may need to PM you as I work on it. I know you can keep a secret and I would have to tell someone so I don't go crazy.

in our area of the valley(az) they are rare too, I have spotted maybe 2 in the last year.

The wires have all vanished and the dash looks complete.

Memory seat button for 2 separate drivers. I doubt I'll ever use it.

[67cheby]

[Super C10]

do the gauges work in that cluster too?

It probably the button that shoots laser beams.

Just awesome Drew, absolutely awesome.

Sure enough drew you did crop every pic, only hint i saw was the truck you removed the axle from you didnt document the rear axle at all. You said was pulled the axle and sent it off to be reworked and a possible powdercoating. Knew that was troubling me since you documented everything else so perfectly. All i have to say is well played sir dont think anyboby saw that fast ball coming. Build is really shaping up great Drew two thumbs up for sure!!!

So, what else are you hiding from us? Turbo, Supercharger, AWD, NOS?

It's interesting that two people, having never met each other, can have the same ideas. However your talent allowed you to create what I could only envision.

Guess I've been holding this secret inside for 2 years as well.

As for you gauges. I know you have been working on it but until you reach you solution for a small price you can get an APP for your Ipad called Torque. Then hook a Bluetooth OBDII reader into your diagnostic port (See eBay) and you can have a gauge for anything you want on your IPad.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and funny comments on the Quadrasteer. It was a lot of fun to see y'alls reactions.

Your interior looks great in the pictures Drewski! I bet it looks even better in real life. How close are you coming to OKC on the power tour?

[gringoloco]

It ends in Arlington. A short 3 hour cruise away...

We actually drive through OKC, I'm not sure yet of which road.

St. Louis, MO - Tuesday
Miami, OK - Wednesday
Stillwater, OK - Thursday
Arlington, TX - Friday

Go to HotRod.com to see exact locations.

Thanks Drew, You have any idea what time or how long you't be there? I would like to head up to Stillwater to check out your truck.
If you have some extra time on your busy schedule you're welcome to swing by my place and check out my build.....it's right on your way

Each day the cruisers arrive at the location about noon and pack it in around 6 to 7 at night.

Oh yeah!
We made it here with zero issues, got our credentials, and found a spot to park. This thing is huge with a ton of great cars to look at, but as soon as we pulled up a small crowd formed. I hardly got to walk around - too busy fielding questions. The good news is a Hot Rod photographer already found us. He said he would talk to his editor. We'll see.
