Lots of you asking how fast the truck is. Not sure yet. I am still working out small bugs. I have a line lock in and plan to post a burnout, but i don't want to break it yet. Once you get past the few seconds of throttle lag it moves faster the a good runing small block and i have not one past 80% power.

It cruises down the freeway just above a idle in third gear. What it will do in fourth i don't know. How fast do you want to go in a 68 truck.

No one i talked to said i would be able make it drivable. I did and an still enjoying the looks it gets as i drive down the road. More to come.
