Great job! I am afraid to ask, but how much would doing a truck to such a superb level cost?

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.

As I do not have the skill or knowledge he has, I couldn’t at this time imagine doing it myself as he has. But I would be curious to what it might be in both scenarios. The attention to detail and quality he has put in this truck are at a level I find amazing and something I would love to do some day.

big thanks to everyone......
ive driven it just around the neighborhood and plan on getting it appraised and properly insured before it gets any real road time.......
as far as costs, i dont know yet...there are still a few things that i still need to get, but i wouldnt be surprised if i have 40G or more into it, and thats with me doing the work........and after about 3yrs, its finally taking shape......
