Korbin is real proud of the truck and all the work that has gone into it. He gets a ton of compliments...

I think you took my comments wrong. He knows what he has, but this truck was to be ready by his 16th birthday which I did not get it done by, I let him down on that deadline. We got it to the show unfinished which was also a deadline I missed to get it complete by, and then the trans problem happened and he could not take it for the first day of school. HE is very proud of the truck and enjoys having it very much. It was just a huge set back when the trans went out so soon after getting it together. He has put a bunch time into it and loves driving it.


We got the trans replaced and put in a lower stall speed convertor and fixed a steering issue over the weekend. I got the gauges installed and he was able to take it to school today. We need to calibrate the speedo and then finish his stereo before putting in the carpet.
