Hello,
Been a while. Things got a bit wild at the end. The build was intense and sponsors took interest.
Just before the truck was going to ship, Chevrolet Performance hooked us up with Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center out of Texas. They both were hugely enthusiastic about the truck and Scoggin-Dickey sponsored it. Crazy.
Crazy, because like most of you - I'm just a home builder. My garage has a carpeted dirt floor, I originally built this truck with my dad.
We get to the Targa Newfoundland, and everyone says you need a crew, you need this, you need that. Fortunately, the one good piece of advice I was give before was to build a tough vehicle to compete with. In the end, we came in 2nd in our category (Targa Classic). AND we did everyone of the 45+ stages in trophy time, some take years to do this. We were happy to say the least, and tired.
But here is the icing on the cake, and it's a fun read. Some of which you will recognize from this thread. Road and Track picked up the story of the Targa Truck. NEAT.

Take care, I'm still catching up and will post some proper updates of the truck.
