Time to start the long and patient, but fun process of assembly.

I can't handle it any longer. you guys have passed me up. if I drive up to you place and drop off my body part to paint it would slow you down so I can catch up. can we make a deal on paint.

Ha ha...thanks guys...we'll gladly help you out, but I do not think there is any slowing down on this projects, things are rolling really nice.

Thanks a lot...the supercharged LSA engines from GM Performance are rated at 556 hp...not too shabby.

This is the best build I have every seen! Looks really good. Love the modern power and old school look. Also the attention to detail making ever thing look like it was made to be in truck from factory!
