ROLL TIDE

lol
Yes sir...Its the journey not the destination as we say......Kayden is a good boy and so smart to be 4 yrs old, and is interested which makes it even better....I told my brother in law, Randy, that once we get done with my truck we are gonna find him a project to work on as he gets older.....He likes Hot Rods as he calls them.

My dreams started at 6 in a 63 Chevy C10 Stepside my Uncle had.....You just never know what spending a lil time with a kid will do......One thing for sure is that he will always know he is loved by Uncle John

And as ALWAYS ROLL TIDE!!!!!

Re: Johns 66

Cab is DONE!!!!
It really looks good up close. It hasnt been cut and buffed. The body shop wants to wait until I get it all back together in case I nick something....once I get her all back together they will touch up anything I mess up then cut and buff all of it.

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.

Yes sir....its the 521 White just in base/clear
We had to cross reference and Im thinking it was a we#
The truck was originally white so I wanted to keep it that way....I went with a GM charcoal gray for the interior.....it looks darker than it really is. Once I get the doors built and am able to take pictures in direct light the metallic will really show off.

Re: Johns 66

So this will be my rant post.
I am trying, with a few exceptions for safety and drivability, to keep my truck as stock looking as possible and with the advise of a few people and mainly for looks I decided to go with an OE system with an upgraded compressor and condensor. I knew it would cost me extra butI like the look.

So I ordered a complete system from 4-5-6 Trucks, Anthony Smith. He had helped me on my bolts so I digured this would be ok....Boy was I wrong.
He has had my money for many months now and I do not have one part from him. Ive been given every "reason" under the sun as to why I dont have my parts.

SO before you do any business with him beware you could simply be donating money.

Jon Krogh is gonna round me up a system for my truck....just hate going through all the drama with Anthony.....so you have been warned.

On the bright side, my truck should be finished painting either this week or next and assembly can start....and thats a real good thing

That's sad to read. I know he used to be a member on here & was booted but I don't know under what circumstances. I've actually been in contact w/him via IG & have him in the back of my head as a possible resource. This def makes me rethink that possibility.

All you have to do is try to call him, his inbox is full, so once he gets your money the only way to reach him is messenger in FB or IG...thatll tell you all you need to know.
Also google the business and the AG has a 60k fine and 8k restitution lvied against him and has a cease and desist order againt the business.
He is taking peoples money now to pay those things but is not shipping any parts. Only way I would deal with him is in person.

Re: Johns 66

Hey John. Sorry to hear your plight with that moron. As we discussed months ago over the phone, I knew he's a dishonest person when I dealt with him.

As for your continued build, congrats on the progress. I ran into a guy at the Dino's Get Down in Phoenix a couple weeks ago that had the complete system minus compressor, brackets, and condenser for sale at a reasonable price. I have his number - let me know and I can PM you his info.

Take care,
Mark
