Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
i hear you on having to sell some stuff, i am there also, can aafford to finish how i want, so in a couple years i will finish it, after i do a few more customer builds. it is better to drove it than have it sit in the shop collecting dust. that is one reason mine is a static drop.

Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
cant get a good pic of the nova.. (too much junk around..i guess i should prob help my dad clean up his garages after he gets done painting my truck.. he's been workin on it full time since we started).. the nova is a 72?? back halved fiberglass front drag car.. i dont know a whole lot about the car, bc i never really got into drag racing like my dad was (i guess thats why he quit doin it.. nobody to hang out at the track with??) what i do know is that its a sbc pushing around 700hp.. runs 6.3x in the 1/8.. he quit drag racing probably 4 years ago, and its been sitting there since.. (i tell him every day that we need to bring it to the track and get it sold, but i guess he isn't too worried about it)... ps cab will be done being painted by friday.. which means re-assembly starts next wk.. ohh and another ps.. i bought a whole new bed.. (old one had more rust than i felt comfortable with.. not bad, just not what i was looking for.. so the old bed will be posted for sale soon) yea this is getting expensive!!

Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
I'm excited to see it all come together, it's looking great, that paint looks beautiful as well.
