Seen the truck at the mall @ CTC. Actually I heard it before I seen it, and it sounds real good. And I'm sure all the Hooter's girls loved it too! Didn't know I was talkin to a couple of members at first either. Glad to have met Kevin and Cade, real kewl guys!

bigboybodry · 10-16-2012, 11:51 AM

I think I seen the truck doing a burn out at ctc hate I wasn't able to meet up with you guys! The truck turned out awesome!

djracer · 10-16-2012, 03:58 PM

Awesome! Heck of a 1st truck for a teen!! My son and I are working on a 65' lwb for him right now, so I can relate to what you're doing. Keep up the good work!!

djracer · 10-18-2012, 07:02 PM

Thank's guys

djracer · 10-29-2012, 08:40 AM

Bad news! I drove the truck to the track Saturday night and then to a Cruise In. I went back to the track and made a pass after the race was over. The clocks had been unplugged so no time slip. The truck felt pretty good. When I turned off the return road the motor was knocking. A friend named Jerry and I tore it down to the short block without actually Finding much damage. I have to borrow a Cherry Picker to get the shortblock out and torn down. I think it stacked number one Rod bearing. We will see.
I hate it but if it won't survive track passes I don't need it. We will get it out and fix it.
