Weather is getting warmer gentlemen lets get something together and cruise! How are you makin out with your build svtconfused?
SVTconfused
05-03-2012, 07:41 PM
well the build came to a screeching halt... sorta...
should have the chassis back within 2 weeks... then i need to buy more parts.
Im contemplating just doing it right the first time and going forged if it isnt already(havent pulled the pan since i dont have money now anyway... LOL)
But at the least i think i should re bearing everything, and drop a cam in...
so it might be done by september... unless i sell a kidney/new born/left nut/ my project lightning
