i want to just as bad as you do, but the computer needs the Vehicle Anti-Theft System removed so it can run.... thats why it'll be towed to OK to have Glen do the tune on it, this will also be the true test to see if all the wiring i did is right.

ChevyChad · 09-02-2007, 06:57 PM

I am Chad Hulse, and I approve this truck

Yep, pretty good work. He makes me proud- I taught 68ss everything he knows

LOL I better leave that to little bro. I can do that stuff, but anymore I prefer to sit in front of a computer designing airplanes in the air conditioning. I only get my hands dirty when I work on my own stuff

ChevyChad · 09-02-2007, 10:33 PM

You gotta give him back his truck first before he sends you another project

But I got a feeling once he sees the quality and craftsmanship of the truck first hand in person, he'll want something just as good for a Nova

I mean, after you got something of this caliber there is no going back afterwards

killer71 · 09-02-2007, 10:45 PM

chevychad...I gotta put some coins back first...baby brother has drained me!

but i can't wait for the next project!

killer71 · 09-03-2007, 04:18 PM
