A guy could just get the suspension parts & combine them w/limited powder coating, some rattle-can detail work, OE brakes, steelies, + a manual air set-up & achieve similar results (something w/a similar stance, is still clean & driveable but w/o the upgraded options).

SuperFly, N2Billet, Delmo, & Dino still have the 'details' advantage IMO as they've assembled several of these set-ups which helps that learning curve but we all gotta start somewhere
I agree 100% I was referring to what this one would cost. There are tons of ways to save money and still have a cool laid out truck.

Exactly.... Didn't want that number (which is legit for the parts/labor involved) to scare someone off from moving forward.

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 want to be there trust me on that but it just is not happening right now. I am watching the water situation out here. If it keeps going the way it is out here we will be leaving soon.

Got a situation like that here...big plant expansion....bought a lot of homes ..some holding out for bigger $$....but there houses are in the "release zone"...in other words it will grow up in woods.....people dont realize its like sitting on fence...u fall one way or other....if they dont take money now company eventually will say "ok we dont need your property but see what your property value is now......same thing i would worry in your situation....if u wait to long everyone wakes up and nobody to buy your place....watch carefully if it's getting that bad.......jim
