Re: project "WILD THING"

Trying to get back on the truck AGAIN. It is amazing how life always seems to get in the way of projects.

So I loaded the truck on a trailer and took it to a car show this past weekend to get a little motivation and ended up winning 2 awards! Now that's motivating enough for me. Maybe I stay working on it this time.

Re: project "WILD THING"

now I want to build one! I have never been a fan of extended cab builds until this one. Excellent job!

Re: project "WILD THING"

I'm still chipping away at it, I hope to complete this in the next few months. Two little things called time and money always seem to get in the way.

Re: project "WILD THING"

Well I wished I could say that this truck was all done and on the road, but as I have said before life always seems to get in the way. I have spent the last year finishing my basement so the kids could have a hang out place with their friends and there fore nothing seemed to get done on the truck. I also started building a 72 blazer with my 16 year old son over the last couple of months, hopefully it doesn't take as long as my build has. Hopefully I will be updating my build over the next few months as the cold months are coming and I will spend more time in the garage.

Re: project "WILD THING"

Time sure does fly by, I've spent the last year working on my boys 72 blazer build. Maybe this winter I will get back to my truck.

Re: project "WILD THING"

Well its been tucked in the garage for 3 more years so I figured I better get it out and wash the dust off. Did more work in the last 2 weeks than I did the last 3 years. It might finally be time to get this one finished up.

Subbed into this. Can't wait to see you get across the "finish line." Beautiful build.

Re: project "WILD THING"

Thanks I appreciate that Craig. The Blazer is on hold right now until I finish my truck. Also been working on a 1971 Chevelle that my son bought.

Billet Kings, this is the Diablo Series. I'm hoping to have it installed by this weekend and I'll post pictures.
