I think it's more about the hobby of working on it than the truck itself. After all the countless hours of working on this thing and money invested in parts, welding material, metal, electricity, etc., it had better handle like an Ariel Atom and have the ride of a Bently when it's done to really have made it worth it. This kind of reminds me of the Syborg build which was sold pretty much right after it was driveable. The difference is that when you look at updates of this it actually looks like he's still in the process of taking it apart.

I may have missed it many pages back, but I'll ask to make this easier. Are you planning to have an HVAC system in there? It is hard to tell from the pic's of the firewall you had made.

Well I just started reading this thread around 10PM and now its 2:48AM so yea that took a while. You know you see all kinda people customize their truck but you take it to a whole new level.

I am not gonna lie, at first when you were hacking on the stock frame I was questioning things a little. Then you started to build your own, I found a few things I would change and so did you because you redid it.

Anyway onto the last revision of the frame, that is what I am talking about dude. Its clean, it is just amazing.

Onto the more important things, I think I can speak for everybody by saying throw us an update on this truck. I really wanna see you finish it with a big bang. Oh you should go back to the videos every now and then too. I personally liked them better.
