you are living everyone of my dreams right now! I mean OMG, one off wheels, massive calipers and rotors, award winning paint job, lsx block with a supercharger! more interior parts than i can name! its like a heavenly tv show and i cant wait to log on day after day to see the sequels. WOW!! this might be a little personal, but how much do you already have, or how much are you planning on spending when its all said and done?

well, when i won totm last october here... I had about 40k+ in receipts... tragic i know, some may call it dumb... but whatever...

but now... wow... by the time it is all done and said, double the first amount...

I have been fortunate enough that Truckin' magazine is covering a lot of the truck build with tech articles and ive been fortunate enough toget a variety of sponsors, but dont kid yourself, a sponsor doesnt always mean free... most of them mean cost on parts, so I am still out of pocket a lot... nonetheless i am very grateful at all of the help, both in parts and advice, i have gotten from so many people on this site and on sss.com...

again, thanks for the compliments...

it does kinda suck, i havent driven my truck hardly at all in the past 10 months...
