Re: Senior Project Build
It will be, hopefully. But the guy I'm teaching with it says "Purple is for girls." I was so tempted to slap him...

Re: Senior Project Build
They're never done--that's the fun part. And when they are done, it just means you're done with it, and it's time for a new one...
And it begins all over again. |

Re: Senior Project Build
Thanks for the kind words guys! Im in Panama right now, but when I get home I have some new tires lined up for the wheels, then I can throw em' on there! They are Halibrand Gasser wheels, scored off ebay. And I wish I had started this truck years ago! I want it to be finished before I graduate in the spring. My best friends thinks hes hot stuff in his IROC camaro, because he just had a ZZ4 motor put in. I intend to build the Gen III motor and be able to show him who rules the parking lot!! Haha can't wait to get home and get to work. I hope I can get some funds together to buy all the stuff I need

Re: Senior Project Build
Thanks for the heads up. I might need to get a whole new shaft made so I will cross that bridge when I get there.
