toocrazy · 08-11-2014, 09:14 PM

Looks awesome!! Attention to detail is amazing!

El Campo · 08-11-2014, 10:39 PM

Nothing wrong with conserving a little (or a lot) of cash once in a while! And it will be nice to know you have something that is "known" dependable under the hood while you work out the inevitable other kinks that always show up initially on a build. Looking good! Still have to be some of my favorite wheels ever

**oldman3** · 08-11-2014, 11:31 PM

That is such a great looking chassis and engine combo....Jim

BigDaddyV · 08-12-2014, 06:11 AM

mikeleeshields · 08-12-2014, 07:00 AM

Jim, This thing continues to amaze. Looks great.

duallyjams · 08-12-2014, 08:51 AM

Sounds like a plan can always upgrade later.

knomadd · 08-12-2014, 09:19 AM

I love that chassis and the engine looks great! Can't beat a Front Runner!

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-12-2014, 06:28 PM

thanx but just work and a little time and money.....driveshaft just came in and trying to line out cab and interior before shooting color...more in a few days....jim

mikeleeshields · 09-05-2014, 04:26 PM

Jim, Did you ever figure out the issue with the headers? I am hopefully picking mine up from the exhaust guy today. I will load some pictures of the final assembly when I get them.

Got the "camaro" headers in and the pass side is same as yours but marked with diff part #....go figure......have not put cab back on but looks like it will work like yours....would love to see that connection on pass side when u can...i'm goin to run the orig left and the "camaro" right....both fit well around plugs....multi taskin a bunch of things right now...pics before long......jim

BigDaddyV · 09-05-2014, 06:13 PM

Jim,
I have to say, you are an inspiration to me. I've been toying with ideas and colors for my truck and frame. And I must say, that after seeing your Frame in silver, That is the way I am going. Killer! I'm also tossing around the idea of so Hydro dipping over some of the parts...
