Sad to say my plans for her don't include a whole lot of dirt time - but as the newness wears off and the paint dulls I'm sure my mind will change.

Speaking of the engine......I got ripped off by a company on the east coast for the engine they were supposedly building for me. T&L Engine took my deposit of $3K and ran off into the sunset. So my budget is now out the window (which is why you will see a spray painted frame rather than a blasted an powdercoated frame among other cost savers). Anyways I am thinking of these 3 engines now: GMPP 350 (either carbed or ramjet version) or their HT383. Tranny will be a 700r4 (I noticed Monster Trans. dropped thier prices on the one they offer by a few hundred so I might jump on that now. Tcase will be the stock NP205 after I go through it.
