[lil_dq]

Technically it is the 4th motor in the truck. stock, junkyard, nother junkyard, custom rebuild. Coulda had a hellava motor with all the moneys I got tied up in them.

 

[TexasNomad]

Damn why didn't you just get a bad ass turn key crate engine?

Eh, the first engine went when the oldest was only about 5 weeks old! not alot of money laying around then...

 

[TexasNomad]

[lil_dq]

Oh well, I'm happy with where she is now and where she is headed.(the truck not the kid!)

Just seein this Doc...with seein your past rides and now this one...you definitely have the eye to make a good unique lookin truck. That's hard to do sometimes...alotta guys end up with something that shoulda been aborted. Any future plans for her...or are you content as is?

Whoops...skipped right over that future mods list. So when she is done, is she a life long rig, or will you move on to something else?

 

[lil_dq]

I think this might just be a life-er. I have really come to enjoy this truck. I am not saying that there isn't another project in my future or two, but this one is well on its way to being one of my favorites...
