Chase - thanks again for your input, much appreciated... I will discuss this first thing with the guys at MF... i was the one who requested the cats... I was told the metalic ones were best, but I will see what options i can do... maybe bypass them all together...

no, truck was trailered... 98 miles. under carriage is dirty from the body shop etc, but when the engine gets pulled I will spend time cleaning it... I am also going to clean a lot of it tomorrow when the other half of teh exhaust is finished.

ALOT has to be done on this truck still... wait and see....

no, didnt make it to SEMA, SC wasnt available... this build is taking forever... Mark was right, damn it!!!

That thing gets better looking every time you post up more pics. Congratulations on the Truckin spread. Haven't seen it, didn't know it was coming, but I'll look for it tomorrow. Did it make you smile to see them move the exotics out to make room for your truck?

Ok I just assumed when you mentioned the rental car that you drove it. I didn't think it was finished yet. (forgive me for saying road worthy) Truck looks sweet. I liked the paint before and now oh man it looks super. These things take time and Mark is an official when it comes to a statement like that. Keep the updates coming! Vince
