Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland

Nice job in the mini tubs. I like the shape of them more now that they are cut down in width.

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland

Got this little video from Fer, the first start up of his truck.
Due to very bad Wfi at where he is now, he asked me to upload the video to YouTube and place it here.

So here is the link, it sounds great!!!

Not yet, it's going to be a slower process. 2 little girls and a wife to keep happy. It's an s10 swap and 454/400 I'm tearing apart the front end right now, all the ball joints need replaced. I'm unsure what to do for motor mounts right now though, I need to go back about 4-5 inches but wasn't sure if there was a kit or just make custom
