Hey all, it's been a while since my last post but I wanted to post an update. Everything been going relatively well since my last post, well.... in hot rod terms,

the truck now runs a 350 bored 60 over with a skat stroker crank and 6 inch rods. After numerous engine problems the decision was made to upgrade rather than just fix, special thanks to Valley Head Service for all the help. That being said, I've been driving this truck almost daily since my last post and it has been a blast. Beside occasionally leaving me with a dead battery it really has been perfect and I can't complain. Recently I've taken it to a Cars and Coffee in Montecito and it attracted the same attention as all the high dollar supercars.

There certainly isn't such a thing as "just a drive" but it does make everything a whole lot more interesting!
