Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

You earned it.

Re: off it goes

I never understood how a guy could put so much time, effort, and passion into a project and sell it without even getting to enjoy it for a while. I see it all the time and just can't wrap my head around it. It is one thing to clean one up and do a restoration, but all this custom one off stuff and personal mods. You built this thing for you. Don't let someone else show it off.

I understand what you're saying but I've done the same thing. For me at times the build, the parts chasing, etc is the fun part. Sitting at car shows, cruise nights and such can sometimes be boring, the build is fun and challenging.

don't get me wrong the truck is killer and turned out better than I expected but I totally agree. I go to one car show a year, Columbus Goodguys, as for local car shows and cruise nights, been there did that and your right boring as hell. But I know if I don't sell it, I will have a blast with it once spring hits.

Re: off it goes

well..I just listened to the pod (finally)!!! Jim, you and Jason sound like really cool guys - the definitive car guys! and a perfect match for what you were wanting to accomplish! I am not sure what the status of the truck is now?.... hopefully it is being seen by the masses. THANK YOU!! for taking us on this journey. I revisited the thread again to remember the caliber of the build & to get ideas and motivation for my lowly daily driver build. finally... I wanted this to be brought back to the top of the section since many of us are off for a day or 2 so that hopefully it can be "re-shared". As mentioned numerous times, this build is an overall top 5 build!!! Your effort & life commitment to this needs to be revisited.

THANK YOU!
