Thanks for the kind words. As we know, automobiles are a labor of love for most of us. While I am no longer in the automotive biz (moved to computers 22 years ago), I still enjoy building and customizing automobiles. This one should be one of my badest yet

Engine looks sweet. Are you going to lower the truck? Welcome to the site.

Default How low can you go

The truck has been placed about as low as it can go on the frame (still need to make the custom mounts for it). I do not plan to make a custom lower frame for it, as my primary goal it to make it pro-street. All though I have toyed with idea of putting bags on it for show, and then putting the coil overs on it for runs. Somehow I get the feeling that bags with a 1000HP is not do'able.

I like the looks when setting slammed to the ground, but that and racing never works . So will have to either comprimise, or build the setup to do both
