D@mn that was a good bottle! After reading this morn, it didnt make much sense to me either Yes, I would like to build a rod from an old Vista cruiser, but may need to sell the old truck to finance the project(ouch) L

When he was 20, I tossed him the keys & said , give me a "drive by"......I havent heard that ex system yet That old truck didnt come back for quite some time! I heard the kid let the clutch up 5 blocks UP the street, & I heard every gear he pulled(the 1st 4 on that 6spd). He didnt hammer it.......but man did it sound nice I have thoughts about building sompin different, & it will hurt the wallet......you guys/gals need to boot me into reality. I know I dont want to let that old truck go, but that old Vista wagon is callin me....... L

Your thinkin' of selling off your truck to restore a wagon???

I would keep the truck, and save up to start restoring the vista.

You know as well as I how much money it takes to resto a car....but not all at once. The beginning is all elbow grease and "sweat equity" then you can start tossin' a little dough at her here and there. "her" being the truck and "here and there" being the times when the wife ain't lookin'

vista cruisers ROCK go for it crazy L

[wibilly]

stick an old olds gold 455 in that truck just cause thats what GM should have done to begine with

Thanks for all the "input' guys I think the Vista will have to wait. I need to get that f,ing welder back in my hand soon tho......I just aint happy unless I'm choppin stuff up & "rearranging it" I do like the idea of adding the Olds to the truck(tryed that once & it WAS FUN! ) Well, time to try out this new bottle crazyL
